/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Went a bit overkill with quad storage, it's ended up looking like a shrine. But now I don't have quads cluttering up every flat surface.

You need to check the 'show unstable releases' option to get RC firmwares to show up in the dropdown.

Look up microtransat if you haven't already. Even if you want to build a flyer rather than a boat, a lot of their experiences will still probably be pertinent.

DJI batteries since at least P3 have a data connection as well, which lets the drone query things like temperature & number of charge/discharge cycles from a MCU in the battery itself. I would be extremely surprised if something like a Phantom would let you take off if you gave it power on the main connections but it got no response on the data connections.
