excellent, i have some new 22awg

ok, this week has been a crush. i work retail grocery and well... i just "love" the holidays. I've gotten to fly the mini a bit but daammmn...
i just loaded betaflight on my pc so i can get this micro flying. if knowing i have a new micro and no time to set it up doesn't speak volumes.. sigh.
the micro has been setup already so no flashing allied, just need to assign the initialize switch. i should have it flying tonight and get back to connecting the rx and vtx to fc and get this v2 loaded with software etc this weekend.
at least I'm still flying everyday, anti postal intervention

 

[Futuramille]

we did fly a bit today...

 

[Jtrjr]

Nice flying, Futura! Too bad that branch jumped in your way!

thanks Jerry, im working on a rewind there and went in a little to fast. left roll, under tree swoop up, back out from under the tree, left roll going backwards.

ok, so my personal laptop is having some fit over running install through the chrome store.
this is my first betaflight setup and i just need to be sure not to mess with what is on the micro. got betaflight on my work pc finally. goal today is to get baby cerb flying. all i need to do is assign channels i think. any pointers... most vids on YouTube are full load, flash the fc jobs.

its got a furious Piko blx and the ESC is the the Cicada 4in1.
1106/7100 brother motors.
furious vtx.
frsky xm+ rx.

should be pretty simple if you are using sbus/ibus protocol with your receiver, just assign switches etc

 

[theGreenOrange]

That should scream on 3s 450mAh or 650mAh. I have a build with 1104-6500kv and cicada 10A at 77g that is one of my two favorite quads. It rips on 450mAh 3S.

You will also need to do your sub-trims, endpoints, maybe set up OSD, ESC protocol or reverse a couple motors in blheli. I also do some stuff like set a dead zone, do dynamic filters, etc but most of it is optional.

 

[theGreenOrange]

Oh, maybe they did all that. You got it as BNF? Most of what I mentioned should be done

 

[VirtueViolater]

If ibus, you dont have to do endpoints

 

[theGreenOrange]

If ibus, you dont have to do endpoints

That would be nice to have, is that exclusive to ibus?

 

[VirtueViolater]

The turnigy receivers need no endpoint adjustments on sbus and ibus
sbus usually needs endpoint adjustment on most receivers but ibus never needs it

Would be pretty easy to unsolder your motor leads and add some of that black and red paracord you have, would look great on that quad

i believe its sbus and yes, everything is set and tuned by Josh Ingram. here's its creators comment... still pretty cryptic but I'm halfway through bardwell's vid and my second cup of coffee. "First step is to connect the FC to the computer and open betaflight. Then check your radio and then you can check the configuration and modes to make sure everything is set the way you prefer".
we'll see... gonna be a fun day. i got these four batteries to start.

 

[Futuramille]

don't tempt me virtue... that would look sweet

 

[VirtueViolater]

Go burn some paks through it first, lol. I like to keep my esc motor solder points accessible so i can easily change motors or bkoken arms etc

 

[theGreenOrange]

Looks like a good match for those high kv motors.

He just means bind your radio and confirm it is working right, and make sure the arm switch (or level mode switch or airmode switch or beeper switch, etc) is set up how you like it.

so looks like i need to load the pico files to the local pc drive? which one of these is needed? basically got a "driver not found error" when i plugged in fc to the pc
