When building my tinyFISH fc and the tinyPEPPER ESC I was faced with soldering 0402 sized components. That is quite tricky to do manually, a stereo microscope helps a lot! Do not go for a monocular scope, 3D relly helps a lot. As this is just a hobby project and I am running on a… Read More »
I just released the tinyFISH FC design files to the open public! See the tinyFISH project page for details. Do whatever you like with the files but make sure to stick to the license (i.e. releasing all derived work under the same license and giving proper credit). Enjoy!
NOTE: This version is outdated, it refers to tag v0.1. There is a newer release (v0.2), please have a look at the corresponding post here. In this post I am going to share all the parts you need to build your own super lightweight tinyFISH flight controller with an integrated, FrSky compatible rx. All the… Read More »
NOTE: This version is outdated, it refers to tag v0.1. There is a newer release (v0.2), please have a look at the corresponding post here. This is a BOM of the parts you will need in order to build a revision 0.1 of my tinyFISH flight controller. The part numbers from farnell are there for… 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 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 »
