    This is great stuff.
    This project provides an opportunity to create a design superior in every way (performance & components) to anything on the market because salability and profit are not part of the equation. I hope that's how the project evolves into the "ultimate" design.
    I'm learning more about electronics than ever before. Keep up the great work!

    great video, maybe you can design a receiver (from a chip) and teach us how to do that. I think a flysky 2.4ghz with telemetry and diversty would be great, there isnt flysky reciver with this specification.

  • @logandihel
    @logandihel Před rokem +1

    Just putting this out there - the D+ and D- on the USB are not TX and RX. They are differential pair signaling, where instead of sending a HIGH or LOW on one trace to indicate a 1 or a 0, you send opposite signals on the D+ and D-, and the microcontroller uses the transitions to determine if a 1 or 0 was received. This practice is done because it is much less susceptible to noise and enables high speed communication.

  • @dschingis3094
    @dschingis3094 Před 2 lety +3

    The 0.1µF and 1µF caps on the VDD pin of the gyro should be in parallel to gulp up different frequencys of noise/ripple having them in series will give you a higher voltage rating but less capacitance overall. But still a great video :D

    Great video, but why did you connect capacitors C13_G and C6_G in series, and not in parallel ? Doing so, they are equivalent to only 0.09 uF, and you do not have the benefit of filtering out more frequencies in power supply voltage (by using them in parallel).
