    Nex 5N is a throw away camera

    sugru is amazing. So far I've used it to repair a blowup bed that every other type of glue/patch repair wouldn't work on, repaired a kid's toy sword, built a bumper for a Scaletrix car, enhanced a Wii remote charger to make the controllers sit in it more reliably and some other stuff I can't...

    DJI WKM wish list

    Sorry GGoodrum, but I have to say that has absolutely not been my experience. If I engage the failsafe switch on my TX the blue light shows it has gone it to failsafe mode and it initiates the RTH sequence. However, if I then disengage the failsafe switch I can then fly as before. It's easy...

    Air travel with copters.

    The UK CAA rules are as follows: Lipos up to 100 Wh (e.g. 3S 2200maH LIPO = 27.72 Wh) must be carried in hand luggage and in original packaging or with insulated terminals (e.g. tape). No limit on quantity, up to allowable hand luggage weight. A battery inside the device (i.e. your copter)...

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    Your plan for the independent stabilizer sounds fine, though in your shoes I think I'd probably try the built-in one and compare the results with this external one to see which is better. "So above throttle mid-stick would flash and below mid stick would be canstant on." Keep in mind that when...

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    The calibration process is pointless unless you hit finish. What it's showing you at the moment is how far it is moving before the calibration. The whole point of calibration is once it has "seen" the full extent of the range of movement it knows that those are the two extreme end points and...

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    Also, you can't infer anything from the stick movement indicators until you've done the calibration procedure in its entirety. Make sure you move all sticks through their full range several times, then click Finish.

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    What model type are you using on your transmitter? And do you have any custom programming going on there - mixes, etc, other than the one I mentioned?

    Did you follow the calibration procedure within the assistant?

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    Hold up a second. You're using a T8FG, a R6208SB and a WKM flight controller, right? In which case you don't need a hub or anything else. Use a single servo cable to connect the SBUS port on the 6208 (the port on the side where the 8 servo connectors are, but oriented perpendicular to all the...

    How to set t8fg failsave to WKM?

    If you're using a r6208sb why do you have it "hooked up traditionally"? Why not use SBUS? Less wires, less to go wrong. I use that receiver in SBUS mode with a T8FG. For "no transmitter signal" failsafe you don't have to do anything at all, it just works. For a switch to do failsafe you...

    WKM Futaba SBUS channel assignment - Still rather clueless

    The plan that you've drawn overlooks that though you've got enough channels on your TX and RX (assuming you go with the 14 channel receiver) that there aren't enough available on the WK controller. Having both the gain adjustment channels available is nice, but then you can't use IOC. So you...

    WKM Futaba SBUS channel assignment - Still rather clueless

    Let me know if you want walking through the settings. The 8FG Super is nice in having so many assignable switches, so you can have three position switches for flight mode, one for failsafe, one for IOC, variable dials/sliders for gain, camera movement etc. and still have some left over for...

    WKM Futaba SBUS channel assignment - Still rather clueless

    You can do what you describe but using that 8 channel receiver you'll have to go without remote gain control so that you've got two free for your FPV camera control. Given the amount you must have spent to get the WKM, FPV gear etc I would have thought it was worth the relatively small extra...

    WKM firmware ver. 5 test video

    You can only have one home point, so in this example yes the church tower would become your home point. However, you can have a separate course lock point, provided you're using a 3 position switch for setting the locks.

    Anyone using DJI software on a Mac?

    Works fine for me, using Parallels.

    WKM firmware version 5.0 is available

    Weather permitting and dependent on a bunch of other mundane things, I might be able to do one this weekend.

    WKM firmware version 5.0 is available

    For ease of reference, the manual is here: http://www.dji-innovations.com/files/wkm/WooKong_M_User_Manual_en.pdf and the fun starts around page 22.
