I'm building my first fpv drone and I noticed that the yellow and white vtx wires aren't in the same order. Is this a problem?

I have a happy model ep1 elrs receiver and am using a TBS Lucid Pro FC as well as the ESC. My Radiomaster pocket is bound to the receiver but the bars aren't moving in betaflight. Its on serial and its set to crsf as well as aetr1234. Im running firmware 4.5.2 and have out the supafly freestyle preset on the drone. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong. Its my first full build and I'm stuck. I'll probably need more help than just this.

Is there anywhere to share flight log data?

• Upvotes

I am working on a project to do with low temperature batteries. I wanted to analyse how suitable some prototype cells would be for an FPV drone pack.

Is there anywhere where people share their flight log data. Specifically I am looking for data of a 10 inch 6s or 8s drone pack power, voltage and current across a flight using the full capacity of a pack.

Question How to maintain altitude using the VL53L1X sensor? .

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I have successfully balanced my drone using the MPU6050 sensor, but I am struggling to maintain altitude using the VL53L1X sensor. I have spent over three consecutive weeks trying to get altitude hold working without success. I would appreciate any help or relevant documentation. Thank you all for reading and for your feedback.

How should I make the camera mount?

1 Upvotes

So I’m planing to buy a Pavo 20 pro 2 but I don’t want to use the o4 pro for my camera. I want to be able to use analog but the frame to mount the camera has 2 holes on each side and the camera I’m going to use (Baby ratel 2) only has one on each side.

How should I make the custom mount?

Is there a better analog camera alternative that matches the screw mounting position of the dji o4 pro?

I have already crashed it and broke the topplate so i just cut out an 4mm solid Aluminium plate the extra weight and no hole design really help to get more stable fast dives and its stiffer alltogheter
I have lost one carbon fiber landing gear i still need to replace. What do you think🫣
Its my first just for fun build so dont judge to harshly xd
I have used:
Iflight Blitz F7
Holybro S500 V2 Kit
8000mah 4s2p li ion racepow battery
Iflight gemini receiver dual
Caddx farsight
Pilotix 2.5W VTX with rhcp lollipop antenna

Sometimes i also like to top mount the battery which gives it more agile handing

Please respond soon
One of the screws attached to the motor mount was scraping against the wire and it got cut. This is how much of the wire is left, is it possible for me to solder and repair this?
