I pissed away nearly 6 years of my life logging into misc linux boxen and filling out tickets on 3rd shift. First year working there... no sign of bald spot. Soon ; (

We interrupt your regularly scheduled nonsense for what I've been up to during the most extreme cold month of Winter here, in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm so proud to have not just 1, but 4! (count'em). 4! of Facebook's webcams strapped to my face for hours on end, perfectly mapping out every possible pixel of my spaces. I can't wait to see what they try to sell or sway me into doing next ; ) Maybe it'll be buying life insurance for the inevitable brain tumor all these WiFi signals are growing in my frontal lobes with this thing strapped to my forehead! Isn't the future glorious?
Any da wae, I've played about 12 hours of Palov on PC VR before playing the standalone Quest version. It feels a lot faster and the tracking seems a tad more accurate on the "Shack" version, but there is probably less latency when I'm not using Oculus Quest Link via USB-C. This is the video that helped me install it: https://youtu.be/V-z5bhBuXc0

"They're so shootie!" --cohaagen
I stretched the awful 36fps video that is recorded on the Oculus Quest itself out instead of doing the stupid stretch-blur a background of the same thing with the portrait version on top... this isn't Instaphlem or whatever; use a computer and enjoy fidelity. I did some optical flow frame blending up to 60fps as well so it doesn't make you too terribly sick to watch it. The real experience in the headset is as smooth as an android's bottom, aye Data?
...might have to do more of this... but I don't know. I don't care.
VR _really_ scratches the ADHD itch though, which I seem to have: https://youtu.be/n2EVEYmeSqg

Flying way low directly over the freeway... If this reckless moron had a malfunction, the devastation of spilled fiery jet fuel and ballistic shrapnel would be many hundreds of times worse than any consumer drone crash could ever be under any circumstances (even hitting this guy's main rotor). Welcome to the land of "Fuck you, I'm rich", apparently. Disgusting.

AUW 60 grams w/ 1S 600mAh GNB XT30
This is built from the motors and frame of the FPVCycle BabyTooth, with the AIO-FC/RX/VTX, Camera and Canopy of the HappyModel Mobula6 HD. All I did was plug the motors in and flash the latest BF4.2.1 and JazzMaverick 48K. This build could definitely benefit from direct soldering the motors and an XT30 upgrade, which is now on the menu of nonsense I'll waste my time doing soon. The Mobula6 HD frame and props basically shattered on my 3rd flight... and I didn't see the point of rebuilding it heavy. I'll fix it up into a regular non-HD version if I can find a better frame for those 0802 motors.
It flies fairly well, and is about 3 grams heavier AUW than the recommended components from KababFPV. This could be the recipe with a better FPV and possibly a Pololu regulator to keep the HD camera functional down to 2.5V. You have to be careful you don't crash the camera with low voltage, because insta-blindness! Blind disarms usually parachute-land upright though cause of the big BF3016 props, as evidenced by some freshly-mangled 1S cells.
Flight duration is 3-4 minutes on a 450-600mAh, 1S only.
I like the original 1103-style toothpick 8000KV on 2S 300mAh packs the best so far. 3S toothpicks aren't fun to fly cause they're too touchy and need too much space. I want to try a 2S 300mAh on ~8000KV 1202.5 motors of some kind with the BF3016 tri's and HD camera. That might be the peak of overlapping envelopes for the best bits all up.
The Runcam Split3-lite has better FPV and HD video than the Caddx Turtle, but it occasionally boots up weird and has a noticeable delay. Prolly needs new firmware.

...in case you wondered what it looks like before the trucks turn up to fix it. It's probably eroding a lot of the fill sand under the concrete. At least it isn't Winter yet.

Micro Motor Warehouse CL-0615-14 coreless motor
https://micro-motor-warehouse.com/collections/all-motors/products/cl-0615-14
I still think these motors require more break-in time. These were more NOS parts I had from my busted Rakon-framed Inductrix. So far they don't feel all that different to the stock H8 motors. I have some -17's on the way to test. ($2.50/4 on clearance from airblade)
I was hoping for some improvement, but so far the only blatantly noticeable factor has been the Silverware firmware mod itself. The search continues for the ultimate ~25g freestyle FPV quad. The props are in view, so figure it out (though this vid is more for my reference);
1: "Gemfan 50mm" / "Blade Nano QX" prop; really wobbly. They lack punch, and response. I suspect they have more angular momentum, so it would need to be tuned differently. The last quarter of the throttle would cause dipping.

2: "Eachine E57" / "45mm HK Pocket-Quad" prop; less wobbly. They have better punch than the nanoQX, but they feel heavy like they brake less quickly than the stock H8 prop. They wash out more easily, and the top of the throttle range is unpredictable (likely tuning issue).
