Patrons-only question thread for today's livestream

I don't know any that specifically are good for smaller faces. Probably be looking at a box goggle like the EV800 or something, as I bet Fatshark style goggles will all have bad light leak. Or use very thick foam on a Fatshark style goggle.

To get audio working, all you should need to do is put audio from the Split to audio on the Unify. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with "audio" on IO4 on the receiver. SmartAudio? If that's the case, then you need to connect both Split audio AND the IO4 smartaudio to the same Audio pin on the Unify.

Joshua Bardwell

Sorry but no clue. The voltage sensor is built into the board so it's not like you could have disconnected it. Could you maybe have damaged the board while soldering on the new wire?

Joshua Bardwell

Unfortunately this isn't an area I know a lot about yet.

I have a F722 in one quad with very bad noise issues. If soft-mounting the FC doesn't fix it, I'm scrapping it. I'm sure this is just a one-off situation but that's my personal experience.

Joshua Bardwell

FatShark says they sourced high-quality Sony OLED screens. If OLED is properly designed then it can have an adequate lifespan for a TV set, so FPV goggles should be fine. Only time will tell for sure.

If I flew 16:9 right now I would be looking at DomV3 or SkyZone Sky02 v1s.

Joshua Bardwell

Unfortunately, there has been no motion whatsoever as far as I can tell. The Slack that was formed is basically dead.

Joshua Bardwell

Similar but not as good in terms of QC. Would not go for a Wizard at this point. There are other RTF/BNF quads that are better for similar price. That being said, check out AndyRC (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Nk58v5VpE)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Nk58v5VpE)</a> or UAV Futures' (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPNu3rGah0)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPNu3rGah0)</a> reviews. Be aware that both of these channels tend to over hype the pre-built Banggood and Gearbest products, especially AndyRC.

Got it thank you JB

Make sure you are using a generic RX pad not the SBUS input, which is inverted and won't work with Spektrum.

Joshua Bardwell

It's standard 36mm size.

Joshua Bardwell

They'll just refund the money same as always and you'll have to buy something else with it.

Joshua Bardwell

You gotta give me wire gauge I don't know square mm.

Joshua Bardwell

I'm not sure I know what you mean by the "sabotage" concept.

Joshua Bardwell

The exact differences between the filters are a little difficult to sum up without diving into math that is beyond me. They're both low-pass filters, but the full Kalman filter has some state-estimation capability that the Biquad does not. What FlightOne uses? I'm not sure and since it's closed source nobody fully knows.

Joshua Bardwell

Yeah I remember him :). Okay, I figured I was the moron in this scenario.

Why is it called the "moron_threshold", I need to mess with it but variable name is ominous?

Hi Josh - any plans to review the Helio Spring FC? Thoughts about the split computing of the F3 and the F4?

Matthew Taylan

What are your thoughts on us being "forced" into using the full size GoPro now that they have discontinued the Session form factor? TPU mounts for the Session offer decent protection for the camera over just using a battery strap for the non-symmetrical full size GoPro

Also what do you think of drone on your phone game for training muscle memory?

thank you.

When are the JB hypetrain motors coming out? 😜

Think we could get a Joshua Bardwell house track in a flight sim, perhaps Liftoff? Will you ever create your own branded stickers, hats, or sarongs?

Follow up, I'll happily take my answer off the air: The Taranis shows stick movement, the light on the transmitter stays green. Everything appears it should be working, but nothing happens on the quad. If i take it off the bench it still doesn't arm, which leads me to believe that there is something up with the Taranis. I have tried 2 receivers and 2 flight controllers and i get the same result: intermittent activity in the receiver tab and absolutely no action on the quad itself, even when the light on the receiver is green. Any help at all would be great, thanks again!

Will you review the wizard 220S, or is it to similar to the 220?

do we need faa registration and fcc license in addition to the ama membership for kwad kamp?

Will you do a 6 inch "long" range build?

What is the short version of the difference in the Kalmen filter vs. the new Betaflight filter? Also what does FlightOne use, and if it is Kalmen, does Butterflight feel similar to FlightOne?

Hi JB - I’m starting to use more 4in1 esc’s. Any other suggestions than a Low ESR Cap to clean up video noise? Thanks!

Matthew Taylan

is BLheli_s still recommended as in the ultimate shopping list?

What goggles do you recommend for younger kids?

I want to take video from windsurfers and fast olympic sailingboats. But of course it always will be quit windy.What is max. windspeed a good prepared race quad is still controllable.

Hi Joshua, I can discharge 2s,3s etc via charger (use the imax b6) But what is the best way to discharge 1s. I need this on weekly basis when I start the day with charging 10+ 1s liposformy whoop andparkflyer. And most timeIdont use them all. And I want to storage them for the next weekend. Cant find a device for this.

Hi Josh, I took my audio feed directly from my runcam split 2 and plugged it straight into Tbs Unify Pro v2 audio. Changed the 4th channel on my tbs micro rx to audio but, I've plugged my earphone into my headset and get nothing. I've run out of Uarts on my dys f4 pro fc which is why I did the direct feeds. Any suggestions on how to get my audio working please?

I have a Taranis Qx7 that works fine in the simulators, but makes intermittent connection with my RX on the bench. In the receivers tab it shows movement for a few seconds here an there then freezes up. Question: Is there anything inside the Taranis itself that i can check to make sure it's actually transmitting, I feel may have been swindled! See ya this weekend at Kwad Camp, hopefully with a working quad!

@Jason hmmm yea thats what i was curious on, wouldnt that softmounted gyro be a good thing for lots of crashes? or would it make it more likely to be damaged? Say if i went with JB's flight controller, does it need a separate PDB?

Hey JB, I'm not watching live right now, but I'll go back and watch later. I recently replaced the power lead on my acrobee, and now it doesn't read voltage for some reason.. any idea what could have caused that?

Will do you a FrSky R9 vs Crossfire comparison video? please?

I just got an (Armattan) Sabotage 3" Banarang. Can you recommend a FC, 4-in-1 ESCs, and micro cam? Also, are you going to be talking about the Sabotage concept in the future?

Buying a new frame. New freestlye frames all seem to have thin arms. Is there still value in separate esc. Or should I just go 4in1

Having issues getting serial rx setup on a helio F4 with spekrum

6S on high KV motors?

With the trend moving from 5" quads to 7"/8" long-range quads, do you think we will sooner or later come full circle and end up with 10" F450 Flame Wheels and TBS Discovery again, just with better tech?

Where can I find the dimensions to your FC?

where do you stand on so called CLONED frames? does anyone really have the right to own a particular shape? I think there name is really the only ownership they can claim

Same question :)

I have a Runcam 3 - It just does not compare to the Session 5 in any way quality wise. Bummer about the Session 5 being discontinued. Ill buy extras now

Do you have any idea about how best buy will warrantee replace GoPro session 5 now that they are discontinued?

A 3" build with 0,75sqmm cables for powerlead too small for 4S?

Why should I choose crossfire over R9M?

Hi Joshua. Is it possible to use the new runcam control board with a software uart on like the LED pin or a spare motor pin?

Any alternative for small microphone? The bangood one everyone seems to use or recommend is too big for my micros and even bigger than I would like on my 5"

Hi JB, What would perform best for freestyle, a frame with thin arms frame like the new Hyperlite Flosstyle or Wide arms like for example Alien frame or Rooster.

Can you point me in the right direction of which video to watch I can’t seem to find the correct one!

Hey Joshua I know I’ve watched a video of you diagnosing twitches, which I’ve found one that I actually had a motor going to .99 on the accelerometer when punching the throttle in bf, which seemed to help but I’m still getting these small twitches which seem to be more mid throttle and happen even while hovering.

May i ask why you don’t review kiss and race flight electronics. Always betaflight goodies. ☺️

How to mount any micro sized cam in a normal sized frame with normal sized mounting option? Like a Runcam Micro Eagle in a Karearea Talon. Do you have a good trick oder some 3d printed things that universally solve this problem?

@Matt Sutterlin, the Kakute has a soft-mounted gyro - might not be the best choice for a beater/crasher - I have a beater that I put a FPVModel BF F4 board on, its really been durable.

For building a "beater" quad that can survive lots of crashes, do any FC's stick out as being both great quality and decent durability. Was looking at the JBF4, and the Kakute AIO v2

Im building yet another Chameleon, this one a TI - I know you love the JB F4 - but I ended up with the Kakute F4 v2 and the 4 in 1 35a ESC. Do you have opinions on HolyBro's newest stuff? I also have a set of individual Tekko32bit 35a. Trying to decide to try the 4 in 1 or do what Im used to.

Now that long range is getting more popular, what are good long range FC options and considerations? With a slight preference towards modern gear (F7 - 32khz - ...)

Are you changing your intro for good? Will we never hear "I'm Joshua Bardwell, and you're gonna learn something today!" again?

Can you use your influence to got someone to make a pair of goggles with a vtx in it to share dvr playback on the field

Will you do a review of the F722-STD from Matex? I already bought a couple, but you always have such great insight so its nice to hear your opinions on it.

What is your favorite micro drone?

Regarding the new fatshark goggles. I heard that OLED have a shorter life span than LEDs. What are your thoughts on that?

The X-Lite is probably under NDA but can you confirm if you have had it in your hands?

Rav

True X or Stretch X for freestyle? and why?

Will you be reviewing the Helio Spring FC or did I miss that video?

Several months back you mentioned that a new group had been started for creating standards for video transmitters after the whole Mach 2 issue. Any updates on that?

Have a lead on a FatShark HD2, I know you said snag them up but what if I would like to primarily fly 16:9 analog. I assume the best option would be the DOMv3. Am I crazy for giving up my current HD3 or even passing on the HD2s just for 16:9? I currently have 2 Micro Eagles &amp; 2 SplitCam mini.

Do you have the eachine ev200d goggles in hand yet? Or should I just get something else?

Good set of motors both durable and performance

If I were to buy a pair of FPV-goggles. Should I spend the extra cash and get the Fatshark HDO or would a pair of Flysight FG01 be good enough for someone who hasn't flown with goggles before?

Is it possible to connect the current-readout from Dalrc 40A Engine to your flightcontroller JBF4AIO? Best regards Mike from sweden.

I really struggle to maintain altitude control, what tips can you recommend please?
