Long time no update… Don’t worry, I did not get (completely) lost. Just busy^3 with so much other stuff (work, house, kids, a new dog, …) that I just did not find any time to post. I hope I will find time to continue updating the blog more recently in the next time. I have… Read More »
This is a follow up post to my previous blog post on how to replace stiff wires on micro brushless motors such as the Racerstar BR1103B. Last time I cut and re-extended the wires outside of the motor. Encouraged by Sams blog comment I got ready to sacrifice one of the motors for science! To all… Read More »
UPDATE: There is a follow up post on how to remove the stiff wires alltogether. I have been building micro brushless quadcopters like my pepperFIISH for a while now. Over the last builds it became more and more clear that one of the weakest spots are actually the motor wires: Most of the small brushless… Read More »
I just got some feedback from jaap, he successfully built himself a 2S pepperFIISH pocketrocket. His build features the new Racerstar BR1103B motors and uses the new frame design. Looks like he is having some serious fun with it! Jaap writes: I’ve been having so much fun with this new micro quad. It’s amazingly small,… Read More »
I was recently joking that my 2S pepperFIISH quadrocopter is strong enough to carry a friend’s GoPro. Too bad I did not make a bet on that… Out of curiosity I tried it, lacking a proper GoPro camera I fastened my Xiaomi Yi camera to my poor little 29g quadcopter (44g with battery). Let’s crunsh… Read More »
I just started to experiment with 0705 sized motors as I got some nice motors from boldclash. They came with a fishpepper.de logo *wohooo* This is great news, having motors with my own logo means I can now fly like a pro or better *cough* Well… certainly not… I hacked together a quick test frame… Read More »
Sorry for the long delay… I finally managed to find the time to fine-tune the camera mounts for my super lightweight pepperF1SH quadcopter design. You can find the source files in the FreeCAD format and STL files at my pepperF1SH github repository. In addition to that I also uploaded the STL files to thingiverse, you… Read More »
The last weeks have been quite busy, the move is still not completed and most of my gear is still in cardboard boxes — phew… Nevertheless I found some time to work on my tinyOSD project. Once assembled this thing weights only 0.4g. The best part: It does not use this glowing hot max7456 chipset!… Read More »
It has been a long time without new posts. I was fully occupied with our move. Most of my quadcopter equipment is still packed in boxes and I traded my soldering iron with a brush and I am still busy painting walls. At least my desk is partially finished and I can start to work… Read More »
Well, it finally happened. China took one of my designs, removed my logos, renamed it (what was wrong with tinyFISH FC?), and started selling it as their creation: The “Racerstar” F3D8! But let’s start from the beginning: On November the 21st 2016 I started to blog about my tinyFISH FC. I developed it because I… Read More »
