I wish I was a mythbuster. It's why I shot at my brand new HD camera. Lots. I wasn't at home when I tried it, so it's okay.

The board mask was covering a bit more copper "+" pad, with vias... so I sand-papered it off and used 22awg... and welders to fix it without a total rebuild (I direct-soldered the motor wires; would've been grr). I screwed around with tuning... anyone get flutter with Kabab's suggested tune from the build guide?
I gotta pack the lab up, more later.

The raw DVR from the Fatshark is exported via DaVinci Resolve as a TIFF sequence at the original resolution of 640x480. It was then upscaled with Topaz AI Gigapixel ( https://topazlabs.com/ai-gigapixel/ ) and re-imported into Resolve, and zoomed / cropped where needed. This does take a while to compute... and I'd like to try it at higher resolution via on-board DVR to get rid of the analog video wireless transmission noise. If I can get acceptable HD-ish video from something that is less than 30 grams AUW... I'll be happy.
This is a 4X scale w/ High noise and blur reduction. At the end it's slowed down to 10% with optical flow blending, so you can see what the AI is doing to each frame; is fascinating.
Hallucinatory scanner darkly / waking life kind of thing; rotoscoping almost.
This is my original inspiration to try this; https://youtu.be/hInQkqmjn48

Random edit from the yard, showing off the crispy 60fps from the RapidFIRE / PowerPlay.
Whenever that "Media Offline" thingy comes up, it's because there is condensation in the AIO causing a bad signal, usually cause I crashed into the grass.

Tried to light the pine tree from the inside with one of Daniel's StratusLED's running off my ebike battery, but it didn't work out well. I had some LED lanterns out since this camera doesn't have the IR mod done yet.

Still driving through the numerous video glitches (loose wire and water, prolly).
This is an old hacked up Helion Animus 18TR RC Truggy, all electronics gutted and replaced with a bunch of hotglue and HobbyKing junk. I had it running on a 3S Lipo, with a heavy throttle limit so that the 2S NiMH brushed motor wouldn't catch fire. Honestly, I'm surprised this thing still works after all it's been through.
I threw a TBS Crossfire Micro RX v2 connected directly to a TBS Unify Pro HV through SmartAudio to control the power output and whatnot. I gave in and got the Tango 2, cause I want my gear to be more able to hit and run night spots without dropping a bag on anything wet and snowy. The FPV camera was an old Runam Owl (the smallish one without mounting bracket). I added a tiny strip of white Lil’ Lites 1-3s Micro LEDs to the bumper so I could see the terrain better.
I did a LR mission strait down a road at like 4am to see how far I could get with the crossfire / unify at full blast, but I gave up cause it took 5 minutes to get a quarter mile out and I got bored and worried about the battery. Needless to say, I think Crossfire is dee wey. I plan on some more cross-town FPV rover missions over 4G once we're in the middle of Winter. I want to try LR on the ground before I make it small and airborne.
This is a marker so I remember what this looks like.
