Several weeks ago I ordered a new Naza-M V2 for my DJI F550 Flame Wheel multicopter. I originally had the DJI Wookong-M controller but had to sell that. The Naza v2 has all of the stability of that more expensive model and works great. Another feature I wanted to add was a brushless stabilized camera […]

On my previous flight, which was my first time flying a multicopter via FPV, I just lazily strolled around because […]

Low Cost Digital Microscope
With some of my other projects I’m working with fairly small electronics components so I ordered a low-cost digital microscope off of eBay. I paid about $40 for a 0-500x digital microscope. It’s really 0-400x with ‘digital zoom’, a worthless feature but otherwise it’s a pretty cool tool and toy for what it is. The […]
