Asowari:
indeed cause I know them, my friend go and sleep ,it's way pass ur bed time

Don't feel like sleeping

Asowari:
too yellow why is she bleaching?

Awon jealousy spotted

Hmm, wish them well. Still waiting for the special one.....

Okay

SenselessIdiot:
And the God they were going to serve couldn't save them

Take your time o.

RCDIY:

Thanks, bro.

I tried Waypoints today and it was really cool. I drew a mission on Google map and the Quadcopter followed the path. So iNAV build is done. Next is videos.
Truth is I am yet to make any cool video cos I go flying all by myself. Next weekend, I will get a friend to accompany me.
Videos are usually too large for NL. I intend putting them on my YouTube channel.

When I've got something doing I'll definitely build a quad. I'd really love to see videos soon and I'll sure follow you on YouTube then. Keep the good work going.
Get a friend that loves what you do to help out.

RCDIY:


The iNAV build is complete. Actually had it flying 2 weeks ago but had a nasty crash due to incorrect magnetometer operations.

I got it repaired and eventually tested today.
Return To Home (RTH) works like a charm. Also Position Hold (PH) is quite accurate. GPS was picking over 15 satellites.

I will perform a Waypoint mission next.

Finally!! Congrats. Expecting more. Any videos?

Nice.

To be delivered to Akwa ibom

Wetin concern me?

RCDIY:

That's why planes didn't interest me so much. No real space to fly as you said. Quads? I can fly even inside my sitting room.
And they're fast, the mini ones, so fast. I still got a lot to learn. And when I get better, I'll buy FPV googles and stop flying only Line Of Sight.
The stadium will make a good flying area even for planes though. Where you at?

Down south. Akwa Ibom precisely. Uyo more precisely

RCDIY:

Thanks, man.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna play around with my 500mm AP rig. I've had it under the sheet since a crash that damaged the GPS.
Ordered another GPS unit but it arrived faulty. Sent for yet another and now, it's okay.
Hoping to get a better battery later to increase flight time to 15 minutes +.

This is really cool. I think quads are the way to go. My plane is still locked up(no flying area) and I'm sure completely rusty on the controls. The system I usually use for stimulation had packed up long ago. With a quad the first problem goes away and with time the second follows suit.

RCDIY:

Yeah, true!
I needed more light so I brought the board to the sitting room.
I've ordered another. The wait is killing me though.

Trust me, I know how you feel. Happy waiting though.

RCDIY:

You know how it is, bro.
Yesterday, I was soldering pin to the FC. It's quite a delicate piece of work. Then, my son jumped on my back!
The soldering iron moved over the board removing tiny resistors which are impossible to manually replace.

The board is ruined. ($28)
And I'll have to wait another 3 weeks to get a replacement

Oh dear! Kids are a no no when I'm working. Just have to lock myself away until I'm through. Sorry for your loss.

RCDIY:


Okay, bro.
I've ordered for the ESCs. But they don't have 5V supply for the FC and other little components. So I ordered a PDB too.
Hopefully, I'll get them in 2 - 3 weeks and continue the build.

The wait sometimes feels endless. I'm eagerly waiting.

RCDIY:

I actually open another thread solely for quadcopter and that's where I've posted more. Here's a link to the thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/4147249/how-build-quadcopter

I sold the last craft I made. Presently, I'm making another using a slightly bigger frame. Also, I want to try Blheli ESCs instead of the SimonK that I've been using.

On the other thread, I was working on a 250mm on iNav firmware for added features especially Mission flying.

I'll share the updates here too.

Parts list
260mm frame (Available)
2206 2200kv motors (available)
Omnibus F3 FC (available)
BLheli ESCs (Yet to order)
1500 4S Lipo (yet to order)

Great! I'll be expecting the update

RCDIY:


Person dey oo!

But no activity in the thread

Knock! Knock! Anybody here?

I'm still waiting for the image that shows that she finally smiled

djakinwande:
See how the office slf look dirty

So you mean you can see the office from where you are?

At least he's got the other hand to do what he loves doing best next year.
Anyways, sorry to the young man.

This your story get as e be. I'm coming back.

Twagrill:

wow!!! Thanks a lot.

You're welcome

Twagrill:

meaning it can be done without the internet, only that the range at which the transmitter operates can't be compared to when using the internet.
Where do u think all these equipment can be gotten from?
And also do u think there's a way to drastically reduce the noise, the blades make when slashing through the air to make it almost silent.

I'm afraid there's not much that can be done concerning that. Notwithstanding, there are specially designed propellers that can do the trick to some extent. Even at that you know the effect the wind has on your ears while you're in motion. Same applies to your drone - there's still going to be the issue of noise even without the propeller spinning so long as you're moving through the air.
In conclusion,
1. There will always be noise.
2. Since it's a spy drone, you may not be bothered about the noise the propellers generate since you'll be flying high. Your concern would rather be with the quality of your video and perhaps the ability of your camera to zoom in and out of targets.

Twagrill:

wow!!! That's brilliant. You're too good jare.
What about the camera, getting live videos from the camera. That's another aspect proving to be very challenging. Hw do you think we can go about that.

Since it's a live feed then you'll need an FPV(First Person View) setup. That means the camera will be connected to a transmitter which will then communicate with the receiver(on the ground station) which is usually connected to a display. Other spy equipment could also share the display giving you telemetry readouts (altitude, battery capacity, speed,etc). It's important to note that your range is dependent on the output power of the transmitter. Some powerful transmitters when setup correctly could have range in excess of miles. Then imagine combining it with the power of the internet.
In conclusion, it's not much of a challenge though as it requires basic electronic skills. Also, there are kits available online so it's quite easy to setup. Note that you're limited by the range of your RF transmitter(remote control) irrespective of how powerful your video transmitter is.

Twagrill:

that's really nice.
But can you upgrade it to being a spy plane? Just want to know hw possible it is.

It's quite possible though it comes at a cost. Cameras can be mounted underneath the wings, you could also equip it with a system that gives you info on altitude, position, speed, etc., you also need a flight stabilization system. There are quite a lot of things that could be added however, since you're upgrading it to a spy plane then you'll have to consider the wind loading because the heavier, the faster you need to fly and since you're thinking of spying you sure need to be as slow as possible. Notwithstanding, you can speed up during flight if it becomes necessary.
So in summary, things you need to consider include
1. weight of the equipment to be attached
2. availability of mounting space
3. center of gravity - this is likely to change after the upgrade so you'll have to balance your plane afterwards
4. power supply - remember your equipment may need to be powered separately which means more weight.
In conclusion, you could always design something relatively bigger and lighter to carry your spy stuff
I'll be here if you have more questions

After using all the bleaching creams in this world to bleach her DNA.......see her end now mtchewwwwwwwwwww



Let a pathologist carry out autopsy on her now and they will realize she died of too much mercury in her system.

Did she die and buried with her head intact?


I know why am asking oo
They have plans of going international

Y'all continue pretending to be stewpid okay?

Aboki will always be aboki,
Nothwithstanding, what this Aboki did is totally unacceptable.

Stop pretending to be stupid.

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, this happens. Are they really siblings?

Hmm
