Cerberus Trifecta - Cerb v2 newbe build

[Futuramille]

this is the drawback of underslung batteries. this is from the "blackout" crash. no cell punctures so I'm flying it. would y'all?

 

[theGreenOrange]

Yes, but I would NOT store it in my house

 

[HighTechPauper]

nor parallel charge it with others anymore IMHO...

 

[Futuramille]

yup, its an "outdoor" Lipo lol.
replacements just came in so ill probably just discharge it and discard lol. no need burning down my drone for a 25$ battery.

 

[RENOV8R]

Anyone seen the Cerb V3 prototype? Some very interesting features such as channeled arms, everything countersunk. It's on preorder, couldn't help myself..................

 

[Futuramille]

yes and it looks awesome. if i didn't just build the V2... sigh ..last night my finger was hovering over the "buy it" button but.. nope ( :
i look forward to seeing how yours turns out RENOV8R

link? I can't find it on flynoshop

 

[Futuramille]

it's not out yet officially. only 30 initial copies available here.

Apparently the V3 won't be shipping for a couple or three weeks. I'm in no hurry anyway, still have a V2 to build and it won't be here until Wednesday

 

[HighTechPauper]

Sounds Noice!

 

[Futuramille]

sweet RENOV8R this should be a great side by side comparison. arms with a soft mounted roll cage plus the wire channels in the arms make it formidable for open class race spec. its 80g.
if i was to go race in Orlando (never been to a meet) what class would my V2 qualify for? (assuming i qualify at all but it wouldn't be for lack of hardware)

im going to go as far as i can into this micro today. i have two open issues. i won't have sound with the runcam swift micro (need a runcam split?) and my beeper is too big and heavy. my esr capacitors are on a slow boat somewhere... but.. i need it tuned and flying for the next track day to cruise around the pits withought raising alarm. 2" will be much less intimidating and I've got plenty of batteries for it.
i finished the esc signal wires close.

now i have to get the power wires to the fc. this is a redo so i hope i done seperate a pad.

 

[theGreenOrange]

Looks great, what motors are those?

 

[Futuramille]

thanks green..

the power wires are done.. got hot but tests out ok.. i should have changed to a bigger solder iron tip.. sigh but it's done

 

[Futuramille]

so this is the piko blx FC pairing with an furious mnova vtx.. got the vtx wires redone. by this diagram, would y'all agree yellow and white from the vtx goes to uart1 rx/tx?

 

[Futuramille]

the trick for me here is too not have a bunch of wire loose but be able to fold the vtx mount over after connecting to the FC.

 

[HighTechPauper]

By the looks of it I would say no... the yellow is usually your video and has no business on a UART, the white probably if that is your vTX control then it would go to a UART TX pin. Form your picture above it looks like that is an MinumOSD or Piggy board and not a vTX. But as usual I could be wrong.

 

[Futuramille]

i got everything lined up first. tinned the wiring etc.
the reciever wires need to sneak in there too over to these three front pads. im running out of room for wires. lol.
this is some tiny *** work.
next comes the rx wires... gonna be tight.

i didn't see this reply before doing it. what i read was that adding tx/rx from the vtx would give me osd though the vtx. originally it was just power +/- and i got no voltage to show in the camera. the 2" batteries last 2.5 minutes and voltage is critical.
why are they adding rx/tx in this diagram . i don't have a diagram pin out for mnova to the pico blx but that looks like uart1 rx/tx.

what am i not considering hightech?
