Uninverted SBUS and Smart Port on Frsky Receivers
In this guide I will show you where to get the uninverted SBUS and Smart Port signals on many different Frsky receivers, including the R-XSR, XSR, X4R-SB and XM.
Repairing Broken Balance Connector in Lipo Battery
Lipo battery balance plug can sometimes be damaged by spinning propellers in flight. it’s extremely unsafe to use this LiPo with a broken balance lead as it can short itself easily and cause fire. In this article I will show you how I fixed mine.
Turning the GoPro Hero (2018) into a Hero 5 Black for 4K!
The new GoPro Hero 2018 edition is cheaper than the Hero 5 Black, but it won’t do 4K nor 2.7K, only up to 1440p. There are some other features missing too. Interestingly there are smart people out there managed to turn it into a Hero 5 Black that is capable of recording 4K videos!
Fatshark 18650 Battery Case DIY Mod – Charge It Directly!
The Fatshark battery case is a convenient holder for 18650 cells. However it’s not designed for charging, and you have to take the 18650 batteries out of the case to charge them. It’s quite annoying so I decided to modify the case so that I can plug it straight into the charger for charging.
DIY Lost Model Alarm with Built-in Battery
Buzzer can help you locate your crashed drone, but typically it won’t work if the battery is disconnected in the crash. Here we will show you how to build a DIY lost model alarm with its own little built-in battery.

This post shows you how to program ATtiny 85 and 45 micro controllers using the Arduino as an ISP. I also explain the advantages of using Attiny chip over Arduino for DIY projects. Read More
DIY Resistor Discharger for Draining/Disposing Batteries
Before throwing away damaged or old LiPo batteries, you should first drain them completely until there is no charge left. In this article I will show you how to build a battery discharger using high power resistors.
How to Discharge LiPo Batteries?
There are many reasons why you want to discharge LiPo batteries. Maybe you have fully charged LiPo left after a flight session, or maybe you want to discharge the battery completely for disposal. In this article I will show you a few simple ways to discharge your LiPo batteries.
FPort Latency Testing
X-Lite Latency Testing (Sticks & OpenTX Delay)
During the latency testing on the Frsky X-Lite, we discovered some interesting results. There is delay in the gimbals, (how often the gimbal value is being updated), and additional delay caused by OpenTX’s sample averaging.
LC Filter and FPV
LC filter is one of the most basic filters in electroincs, which comprises of just one inductor and one capacitor in its simplest form. This circuit is widely used by FPV hobbyists to suppress noise in power created by ESC and motors. Read More
