Things to note: 1. The altitude was rising, although I was still on the ground. 2. All the control surfaces worked as they should until it was in the air, after which, I had NO elevator. 3. The throttle was stuck at 100% 4. I should have switched it to stabilise 5. I'm old. my brain couldn't take it all in and the inevitable happened.
My personal opinion is that the ESC was causing massive interference with everything. It's only 1" from the MFD and it knocked out the gyros and was messing with the altitude. I could be wrong though......
This is the Revopoint POP 3D scanner, it does exactly what it says on the tin - scans things in 3D.
I like to take a product out of the box, not read the instructions and then use it. I think that, if you can use it without instructions, it means that great thought has gone into the design process and I'm pleased to say that this is one of them.
I've still got to do another video which covers the parts I couldn't do on my own - total body scanning is one of them!

This is my 3rd build which is now an e-motorbike and no longer a normal e-bike.
It's going to have number plates because I'm putting it through the MSVA.

You get to see my (sometimes) daily progress and some very 'juicy' and uncut bits that I daren't show here. Also, you'll get my support if you support me!
There's a reason why I'm building it with a removable batter - WEIGHT! Carrying a pushbike up 2 flights of stairs is bad enough but when it weighs in excess of 40kg and you're in your 50's, it really does take its toll.
I won't be listing prices as they change dramatically with China.

This is a project I've been meaning to do for 12 months now.
My old i5 3570k is starting to annoy me when I'm editing videos because it splutters and jumps and simply can't handle the load anymore. Although it was overclocked to 4.2ghz, it just didn't cut it and a 15 minute video was taking 90 mins to encode.
I decided that the only CPU for me was the Ryzen with its 8 cores and 16 threads. If I could afford the 1800x I'd have bought it but I've settled for the 1700 instead. The GPU is a Radeon RX480 and again, If I could afford an Nvidea GTX 1070 or 1080 I'd have bought one. Maybe in the near future, I'll have some extra cash and I'll get all the kit I really want!
Anyway, I've already upgraded something, overclocked it to the max and I'm working on part 2. Because this isn't something I'd normally do, I'm not gonna do a part 2 unless I get 100 (or close enough) thumbs up.
One last thing - is there anyone watching this who remembers when I used to do PC builds?
Comments & suggestions in the usual place :D

All my Patreon videos are uncut, a lot longer and I go into far more detail and I do live streams when I'm not lying flat on the floor in agony.
This will be the build series to replace V4 e-Bike. I've had to face the very harsh reality that I can't do things like I used to. My leg pains are no better but I'm managing to cope with it as long as I have a bed or floor nearby to lie on ? Riding an e-Bike causes strain on my spine but the Bogist C1 Pro really does a good job of soaking up the bumps - to the point where I don't really notice them.
I'm not going to reveal the total parts list just yet because I haven't really finalised it but, needless to say, this thing is going to fly and it'll weigh no more than the original Bogist C1 Pro.
I'm building this to show what's possible and it doesn't mean I'll be pushing this thing to the limit like I have done in the past. I can't afford to come off it, I'll never walk again!

If I didn't have so many problems with this Naze, this quad would be absolutely superb!
Now, I've got to start shaving weight off and making it lighter.

I think I should invest in a Blackout soon :-)

As you know, the BMS in my DIY battery failed so I've got no choice but to strip it down. As I found out, I'd hard-wired it in place because the connectors were rather bad on the older type BMS. If I'd disconnected the main battery wires and one of the balance wires, Id have discovered that the BMS was fine!

Here's the first unsuccessful attempt when it exploded using pure oxygen. The jet has 9kg thrust which means it could go vertical if I wanted ;-)

*** UPDATE ***
You don't need the additional voltage regulator because the Digispark can handle 7-35v on the VIN pin. I originally built it for an Arduino Pro Mini which isn't so tolerant to voltage input.
Here it is!
Please bear in mind that I'm crap at instructional videos and this is only a guide on how to build them.
If anyone has any problems following the instructions, I'll do a schematic.

Any LED will be ok as long as it's tolerant to the voltage you're supplying.

All the WS2812 LED's came from www.banggood.com and was collected over many months of buying a few at a time.
You know you start something and soon wish you hadn't?
This took a total of 16 hours to solder, mount and do some simple scripting to display pretty colours. There's still loads to do with it but if anyone is thinking of doing it...... DON'T
I must either have too much time on my hands, or I'm totally mad. My vote is on the latter :-)
