Chinese carbon "Mystery" ZMR250 mini quad with KVOSD
Full list:
250mm Chinese carbon frame (they call it the "Mystery")
Emax MT1806 2280kv motors
Emax SimonK 12a ESC's
Naze32 Acro
UBLOX Neo-6M GPS
Fatshark 250mw 5.8ghz TX
Teensy 3.1 for added telemetry (the Naze does telemetry, but isn't compatible with the FrSky X6R)
MinimOSD with KVOSD installed (in my opinion, it's much better than MinimOSD Extra). AND all the NAZE32 settings can be accessed from the OSD via your TX sticks. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfzEg80vapI
It was a matter of time before I upgraded my old weather station. I was never happy about the way it worked and it only logged the internal temp/humidity/pressure.
I decided to use an RA8875 LCD, a Teensy 3.6, an ESP8266 and a BME280.
It's still work in progress but the main work is done! :D

WTF? Not suitable for most advertisers? I bet the effing adverts still roll through the video though!
I'm pissed off with YT and their demonetization algorithm!
Anyway, I've been messing with sensors and I built this.
Fingers crossed, the software will be ironed out and I'll do the build instruction video on 10th Feb.
It does:
External temp
External humidity
External wind speed
External air pressure
Internal temp
Internal humidity
Internal CO2 level with alarm
Internal VOC level and alarm
Oh.... it also has a clock and weather icon :-)

What can I say?
Because I've moved the ESCs inbound, there's now more airflow through the arms which (in theory) should make it faster. Testing is soon :)

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.

You get to see everything a week early and also, some very 'juicy' bits.
This is the closest yet and it makes me doubt the safety of e-bikes in general and makes me not want to ride it anymore. I'm posting this because I want to educate other people and it'll hopefully help at least one person. Remember, always expect the unexpected!
Please consider joining my Patreon - it'll help me out when I come to develop some kind of emergency braking system!

This is the first of (hopefully) many. I've already sorted the BMS out but it entailed completely stripping the battery down again. This took much longer than I thought because I'd completely forgotten how I put it together. Next week is going to be a video of the mods I've done and also, there's something special coming ?

I've been meaning to make this video for a long time now.
Basically, if you're using the BEC on your ESC to power things, you need to cut the black wire to stop excessive current flowing through your flight controller, receiver and/or OSD.
I've done some measurements and (in nearly every case) the lowest line of resistance is the negative wire on the ESC's BEC. In normal use, it probably won't cause any problems but if anything happens to your ESC, all of the current might flow through the BEC and cause the magic smoke to be released.
