@YukonK9 Good jams

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@RyanO_ChosenCoy @ARK_Electr0nics No sir, this quad uses FPV type ESCs which are thermally designed for WAY higher currents (5-6 amps compared to like 50-60 amps)

The ARK FPV flight controller also has its own board heater to maintain consistent IMU temperature, so if anything, the inside is cooler than that

3D Printed Endurance Quad anyone?

Trying to gauge interest...

@RyanO_ChosenCoy @ARK_Electr0nics I have really good results building planes and quads or of Pure White PLA.

Any other color might struggle a bit. So far I have many hours on this frame and no issues.

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@Geocomms167640 This is really cool though. I've been meaning to try one of the XIAO boards

MAVLink over Meshtastic - 34km Mesh test

Meshing around terrain was proven, and telemetry and control is accessible on an encrypted Mesh channel. Multiple drones and multiple users can command simultaneously.

I'll DM everyone and post a link about Quad plans once:

1. I find a good website or way to facilitate hosting the plans.
2. Finishing plans for different configurations and accounting for different User-chosen hardware changes

STLs are done

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@ChrisVolkernick @ARK_Electr0nics If you've never built a drone before, it's tough. The Steam Deck GCS setup is very complex, however if you were to use a regular RC radio and FPV goggles, then it's simpler.

I might make an addendum to account for that.

@aero_titanwing @ARK_Electr0nics All true

This airframe is a tiny fraction of the cost in PLA compared to those materials, so for those who prioritize cost, this maxxes out that factor.

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@xaninmypasta I personally still use Analog because all of my projects are long range, and camera sensor arrays of different sensors are cheaper.

This IR/Thermal optic setup would be at least twice the cost and triple the complexity in digital, just for a bit more picture clarity

@xaninmypasta @ARK_Electr0nics 6s1p Amprius

Same cell count but higher voltage for efficiency

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@xaninmypasta @ARK_Electr0nics Yes. Picture is posted with a 30m flight setup on a 2.2Ah lipo

1 hr 15m setup is a 6 cell Liion

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@xaninmypasta QGC (supports MAVlink joystick), RFD900X MAVlink Telem and Control, VRX that gives QGC UVC video support, and a hub to connect it all

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@ConResponse I think I'm getting to that point of pulling the trigger. Gotta figure out the digital side and make it presentable.

Thanks!

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@alexklimaj @ARK_Electr0nics Yes sir, we use the ARK SAM & RTK at work. They're great

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@KennedyOkpara8 @Kennyking212 @ARK_Electr0nics I think I'm gonna do it...
I'll link soon

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@CursedRock17 @ARK_Electr0nics 13" props!

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@moaazsidat Still gauging interest and a method to distribute. I imagine I'll do it pretty soon

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

@Kennyking212 @ARK_Electr0nics Gauging interest. If I see a decent desire then I will write up plans and a BOM.

[TheWolfblitz7 @TheWolfblitz7]

Looks like its still overtuned, but promising correction
