Went ahead and put the board back in! Arduino Nano running lights, all the parts from radio shack. I'll share the code if anyone is wanting it, it is super easy to change the sequence/timing/order! http://youtu.be/NkaWY8xSUJs

Nice lights, I went a step further with mine. I installed an arduino board and wrote a simple modified blink program to give it an airplane style "blink blink" pattern. two white leds in the front arms and two blue on the rear arms (blink blink font, blink blink back). I managed to burn up the...

Good luck with your builds!

Yea! Quite the "brown pants moment" the quad was behind me at that moment and I watched it through the vid screen. I have alot of vibration and video cutting in and out, but it works for what I'm doing. I have another build in R&D at the moment and will wait for all the upgrades till I go...

Update, I haven't had the video cut out so bad since then. I think the combination of being 1000 up and 1000 out and directly behind my neighbors house really made things fuzzy!

ignore the voltage warning, I can't seem to keep the gains in my OSD set properly. It keeps changing back to the default I guess, 7.5=12.6 V. Also the directional arrow only seems to work if I'm moving, it just points everywhere when I hover.

Here is a quick flight video, sorry for the static, I kinda pushed the limits. I got disoriented and nearly lost it for a minute then got real friendly with a tree at the landing. the video goes out pretty bad when I'm behind houses or too far. oh well here it is...

Quite the background, makes sense that it has led you to the fpv multirotor area. I just saw the batwing the other day, I like It, might look into that for my next build. You'll get a lot better quality out of a gopro and a undermount gimble. My video quality is kinda poor and I have pretty...

I don't know much compared to others on here, but I'm learning fast. When you get RTH working it'll give you piece of mind. I was pretty nervous flying till I got the GPS working correctly and my fail-safes setup. When I was looking at video transmitters I decided on 5.8 because the more...

T. Rexxer, I just got the ground station and FVP setup together so I have only made a few test runs. I have been probably 500' out from it. I have a weird interferance that cuts in and out that I'm trying to fix. Not sure yet if it is just a weak transmitter or vibration or some such. No...

That's pretty cool! I live in a small town and the local hobby store is pretty limited so I order a lot of my components. Luckily I travel a good bit for work and get to wander around larger hobby stores occupationally. I just Built a DJI F450 and went through all the head scratching...

Roberts, Get to know your local radio shack and local hobby stores. Alot of the connectors and wires you need will be there. Good luck with the build!

Hi All, I'm a new member and I guess it's time I post some pics of my DJI F450 build. So here you go, I have a stock DJI 450 W/ NAZA and GPS. 5.8 Ghz video W/ remzibi OSD and a crappy 7" TV on the ground station. I'm using a Spektrum DX7 and have custom Bic leg extensions! Enjoy!

Try looking at the DJI website and selecting a dealer near you. I live in VA and have been ordering parts from http://www.uavproducts.com/ who ships from MI.

I actually cracked the solder on one of the motor connections on an ESC in a crash. When I unplugged the motor to replace a broken arm the whole female plug came out of the ESC. Re-soldered the connection and it is good as new!

If you are in the states check out http://www.uavproducts.com/ I have gotten most of my packages in 3-4 days. They carry most of the stock DJI parts.

sorry, it is marked Flap/Gyro on the radio

I have a DX7 I also use the 3 position switch (gear) for GPS/ATTI/FAILSAFE

Must have been something in the calibration and magnetic declination, RTH works perfect now!

I can give you some suggestions for the flipping problem. Calibrate the naza with the Quadcopter as level as possible. Make sure you have the gps location entered correctly paying close attention to where your CG is and the positive and negative directions in the NAZA assistant. Make sure the...
