pepperF1SH This post is the seventh in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I updated the camera and battery mounts as i decided to order them from Shapeways. I added the option to add a camera protector (aka cable tie) and thinned some walls.… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the sixths in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I finished a new prototype of my pepperF1SH today 🙂 Its total weight including FPV gear and a 1S 200mAh battery is 32.4grams — yay! With having a new toy to… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the fifth in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I just finished one 0.8mm FC, one 0.8mm ESC, and received the new frame prototype in 0.8mm cfk. Now it is time for some real measurements! That looks much better than… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the fourth in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I designed a small and lightweight camera and battery holder. The camera and vtx combination will be mounted on top of the ESC and FC stack. A real pro does not… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the third in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. After doing some more hover tests (2:30 @35g = 87mAh — yay!) and thinking about how to mount parts i came up with an improved frame design: For the motors I… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the second in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. As i just could not wait for my tinyFISH fc comletion i hacked together a pepperF1SH using some scrap components: an old brushed SPRacing F3 Evo converted to brushless, an uSKY… Read More »
This post is an update about my 4in1 blheli_s ESC tinyPEPPER. I just did a first test using an old F3 evo brushed board that i converted to brushless operation (remove FETs and pulldown resistors). I will probably to the maiden with this board and an uSKY rx instead of using my tinyFISH fc as… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the first in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. Banggood recently released a new nice, cheap and lightweight brushless motor, the Racerstar 1103 8000KV ( also available as a 10000KV version). First thrust tests on the 8000KV motor on 1S… Read More »
This post is an update about my 4in1 blheli_s ESC previously known as uESC. I renamed it to tinyPEPPER and i just finished soldering a first prototype: This thing is TINY! Firmware flashing worked out of the box, blheli configurator allows to change all settings and i can use the betaflight gui to control the… Read More »
