Although, if you still have a working 2900, then perhaps you could transplant the SV2450’s brains to the 2900, and use the 2900’s ESCs. I’m certain you could get a tiny bit of help on this forum with that, but probably only @Matt_Morton knows anything about the internals of the 2900. You’d definitely be experimenting to figure out the ESC tunings and such…still could be a neat experiment.
The 2900 is a beautiful looking quad, but from what i’ve read it had some issues. The 2450’s flight board, sonix and GPS could potentially work within that chassis. The GPS, might need to be mounted special, as the 2900’s case may not allow sufficient pass-through of the signal…all about experimentation and whether you’re willing to lose both a 2450 and a 2900 lol
BUT, you COULD gain an AMAZING brushless 2450 GPS!
These are the parameters I’m using. Flying Tower waypoints in Auto mode my 2450 just keeps chugging even when Tx connection drops and distance is way beyond the factory-set fence. (shrugs)
Also, this is how I carry the 2450. Carefully crafted from a cardboard wine case and foam sheets. Glued the plastic stand from the SV packaging to the bottom of the box. fits in a small backpack. The lid doubles as a launch pad in tall grass etc.
not sure. I’ve got mine flying until it loses radio. Fence totally disabled. You should fly a mission and have it failsafe, pull the log and post it here.
I see the Tlog files in Tower>Vehicle History but I don’t see them in Android File Mgr and I can’t share them out from Tower. What’s the method? sorry if this is old news.
I use small LED strobe beacons for line of sight visibility, especially at night. They are self-powered and charged by USB. Blindly bright at night even a couple hundred feet away. They are a little pricey relative to the v2450, but using velcro allows me to put on any of my drones. I bought from these guys:
My Goal. Take the Skyviper’s internals (which I got a spare set from eBay) and put them on a new frame of similar size and integrate with ESC+Brushless motors.
But, I’ve never done this. What I’d like to do is purchase a kit that is EVERYTHING. frame+flight controller+ESCs+Power distro+ESCs+Pros+everything (except the transmitter) and build it per design, then rebuild it replacing the flight controller with my Skyviper internal (STM32+Sonix+GPS)
Can any one provide some suggestions on how to get started here, or suggest some kits to try? I’ve got electronics experience and I’m really good at figuring things out, but I always like to start with an example teaching aide.
There are videos on you tube on how to wire an brushed fc for using the pwm signal to run esc/brushless motors,I was thinking about doing the same thing,keep in mind this board runs on 2.8 volts.
