The most INSANE RC Scrappy you will see...

yep, trying to find both a BMS for the 18650s, and a voltage regulator since the panels don't always make 5v, they fluctuate from 4-6

I can find that one second

Your taking this to FliteFest right?

If I can go to flitefest! I probably won't this year because it's so far away.

Aw shoot okay, it is looking like I can for his year

😍😍 yes I am!! 👍 Are you charging the lithium batteries with a lithium charger circuit?
I would get four of these, make life so much easier

It charges at 500mah so pretty close to your 450

oh yeah also forgot to mention the panels are rated at 60ma, so in full sun they should be at 540ma for each of the 4 arrays

Perfect! Gives you a little head room! So hook it up with both the buck converter and a charger and it will work perfecto!

@KN4IUU a little birdy told me that you once tried to make a arduino flight gryo. I am interested in doing this myself 😉.

 

[FlamingRCAirplanes]

another little birdy just told you I am making a VTOL with an arduino and an MPU 6050, look up MultiWII, it runs on an Arduino Nano, and MPU6050, it has a Airplane stabilization mode

A little birdy told me I need to figure out an arduino nano based flight controller for a secret part of this Scrappy project

Gotcha covered! You on discord?

Gotcha covered! You on discord?

I can be later tonight

Sounds good!

Blue thing is the nano
There is an 1806 motor there too

Have fun trying to figure out what this is

retracts? though ineffective.

Not even close lol

shhhh.... more details on it

I think I've given away too much now, should be obvious

Motorcycle?!

 

[Taildragger]

Motorcycle?!

Bingo!

I was inspired by this video to try and make RC Dirt bikes that used fligth controllers to stay up, then I realized that scrappy carries and charges two segway bikes so of course I have to make those too

Lol that idea is so funny! I hope it works! I ended up taking apart my VTOL and put it on a Trimotor frame so I could try to figure out code without worrying about the foam airframe breaking, and BOY am I glad I did! 2 A-Packs and 1 C pack gets a 800 gram drone in the air with almost no complaints! I figured out the software and while it still needs work, I am amazed how well it works already. And, man, does it sound INSANE, I love it and I have a new favorite noise LOL.

A little birdie tells me that I need to suck up and figure out how to do more that stick an led in some pins
