CAT | FPV
Today my EasyStar completed the maiden flight.
Weather was nice, not to cold but wind could be less. With nose in the wind and motor off it was sometimes possible to stand in the air.
The flight was a non-FPV, even without any FPV equipment.
I finished my hardware design for the Remzibi OSD.
Size of the PCB remains the same like the original one, 46×25mm. Heigth is about 7mm.
The bottom side is almost flat and suitable to add a recommented heatsink for the MAX7456 and L2940.
Schematic, layout and Gerber files will be available soon.
[Update]
The Remzibi OSD Hardware page is online:
The FPV Community released a practical test report for the FPV platform Borjet MAJA, inlcuding pictures and a flight test video under strong wind conditions.
Read on… (Test report for now in German only, but translation to English will be available later on)
I mostly finished my FPV antenna tracker. The mechanic part and basic control electronic are working fine now.
Read all details on my FPV Equipment Page.
I put some informations about the EVG920 video goggles online. I got a broken one for some € and repaired it. The electronic inside is cheapest China quality, especially the ROHs soldering which was worse.
May I can help if someone has a broken EVG920 too.
Update:
There is a PIc12F683 controlling the EVG920.
Since I have no IR remote control but want full control over the goggles I already hacked some code together to control the EVG920 with a ATmega8 by I2C, for now on the bench with an STK500.
Switching between PAL and NTSC video works fine as well as brightness and contrast setting. More to come later on.
