FPV drones
TODO / MEMOs
- ExpressLRS presets might be required after flashing new firmware! 50Hz longrange/Cinematic
- BetaFlight ports -> might be required to be re-anabled (check below)
- BetaFlight PID -> throttle and motor setting -> reduce from 100% to 60-70%. don’t go below 50%
Batteries
Li-Ion
- voltage, try not to go below 3.0V
- dead limit 2.5V
- ok’ish limit 2.7V, as it is recovers back to 3V ish
- charge current - lower the better. 0.3-0.6A, depending on battery
RX/TX
ELRS - do it via wifi: power off TX, power on RX, wait for wifihotspot -> password expresslrs
or Launch ExpressLRS Wifi TX as well as TX hotspots from TX
ELRS configurator app: build RX and TX
You don’t have to re-flash ELRS after betaflight firmaware update
Packet rate: 50hz -> longerst range
Telemetry: STD
Switch Mode: Wide
Goggles
double tap and hold to power on https://rotorriot.com/pages/downloads - range mod
File transfer from Goggles and O3
- goggles - card reader
- o3, connect via USB, no batter required
