Beware dRonin on an F1 board like a Naze. It's not as easy. I have a pair of Brains a, Sparky2 and a few Nazes flying and while I did run a
Naze on dRonin, I'm back to CF on it and soon it will go to Triflite.
There are two issues with the Naze32:
1) That annoying USB chip that means the dronin GCS can't be used to flash them. See my videos on how to use CF to flash the dronin hex. It's not that hard but it does mean no auto-update functionality and having to set everything up from scratch when you upgrade FW.
2) The low memory which it shares with CC3D and which means you have to be VERY careful about what you enable at the same time and that you can't enable anything if you want to use autotune. Of course once you autotune you can disable autotune and turn one or two other features back on...but it is a bit annoying.
To be fair I have dRonin on my Nighthawk 280 with it's naze clone, and on my twitchity 230 with a rev5, and I may put it on the rev5 on my tri...except the new triflight stuff won't be supported on F1 so I may swap my sparky onto there and move that naze to my original quad where the sparky is currently....I think I may have something else with dRonin on a F1 as well but it escapes my memory right now.
That said, as cheap as sparky's are from ebay/aliexpress I'd probably pick up sparkys to replace Naze's if I was concerned about ease of use and performance.
It's 104 outside. I have charged lipos but it's cooler in my basement workshop over my soldering iron than anywhere else in the house. I'm putting the 2 blade props back on the 4" Alien because the motors just get too hot on days like this and I'm pulling apart my Twitchity Mini Tricopter to try and fix the brown outs I'm getting in the tail motor.
It's just too danged hot to be outside. I need to figure out a way to fly FPV in the yard, from indoors.
You've got that great cool weather and you're wasting it inside?! 115 here today with an overnight low that MAY possibly hit 90 if we're lucky.
This was what greeted me on my phone a few days ago:
Forecast says overnight lows are in the upper 80's...but don't believe them. They don't mention that that's only from about 3:34 to 3:36 in the morning
We get down to 100 about midnight right now. The other day I got in our pool and thought it felt a little chilly...then looked at the thermometer and saw the water was still at 95
By the time I step outside around 8AM I have to put shoes on because the ground is too hot to walk on.
Think I may build a solar oven again this weekend...been a few years since I made one and my last one got destroyed in a rain storm.....or might be time to introduce my daughter to the magic of baking cookies in the car, been a few years since I did that too....
