Back at it again. Another rebuild of my first FlexRC Owl 118mm frame. After spending several months fighting the last incarnation which turned out to have a bad Gyro on the FC, I pulled it completely apart and started from scratch. Taking advantage of newer parts to tidy up the build and also wanted a tamer 3300kv build compared to the other 4000kv build. All the old parts are going to other builds going on behind the scenes. (you have seen some (awk210/ danaus) and will see others pretty soon (falcon130 + ???))
Build Specs:
Frame: FlexRC Owl 118mm
FC: Luminier LUX (picked up a used LUX V1, waiting for pre-ordered LUX V2 to be released and shipped)
OSD: Luminier DLUX (fancy stackable micro MinimOSD with usb, 5v and 12V BECs)
ESC: Busybee2 20A BLHeli_S 4-in-1 ESC
Motors: SunnySky FPV Racing Motor R1406 3300KV
RX: TBD (have known compatibility issues with the LemonRX 0037 I usually use and the LUX)
Camera: TBD (want to upgrade from the pico cams used in the past)
VTX: TBD (RMRC Cricket v2 200mw??? or maybe just a 25mw??)
Going to start with BetaFlight. The LUX can run BetaFlight, RaceFlight, and dRonin, so there is plenty of opportunity to compare different firmware on the exact same hardware.
Have the Motors wired to the 4-in-1 ESC
Add the FC on top of that, he LED bar on the back, and the LemonRX (to be replaced)
Add the DLUX OSD on top and pico camera, current sensor, and XT60 power plug (Cam will be upgraded before completion) Adde props too to make adjustments to the stack alignment to avoid choppng wires....
Side view of the stack (we're almost in the air!!!)
With every new combination of gear, there are always some quirks to figure out. That is part of why I like to use different hardware on every build... I'm Nutz The LUX did not let me down. The documentation is kind of vague and the RX input pin is shared with the UART1 RX1 pin.... So initially had the OSD and RX contending for the same Uart. DOH. Next was the 3.3V power from the LUX does not suit the LemonRX LM0037 Diversity receiver and it is a known incompatiblity. Now that all that is worked out, should be up in a day or two. Just waiting on good weather and daylight.
Cheers!
