- Building a FPV Drone
 
Current setup
- Frame: Nighthawk 250 Pro V2 CF
 - ESC: Afro 12A SimonK (2-4s lipo), BEC: 0.5A Linear 5.0v
 - Motor: DYS BE1806 2300KV
 -  Props:
- 2 blades: Gemfan 5030
 - 3 blades (unused): Gemfan 5030
 
 -  
FCU: CC3D Evo 4.8-15V 70mA-> NAZE32 - Batteries: Lots of 1300mAh 30-60C 3S
 -  FPV
- FPV Camera: 1/3 Sony CCD 7-13V (3S) current 70mA
 - FPV Transmitter: 7-24V 190mA manual -> FR1 CH8
 - Video Receiver: current 12V 200mA
 
 - Video "goggles"
 - Weight: 515g w/ battery (60C)
 
Upgrade planning
- Props 5045
 -  better frame
- expensive 150$ http://www.minihquad.com/frames/blackout-mini-h-quad/
 - cheap 20$-40$
 
 - Better FPV antennas, stock are shitty with Skyzone kit (according to comments on HK)
 - Motor: EMAX MT2204 2300KV 7.5A, 2-3s, max 90W
 
Old setup
- Frame: HobbyKing Spec Class 250fpv
 - Motor: 4.4A max, 2-3s lipo, max 49W
 - FCU: CC3D Atom 4.8-15V 70mA
 
Assembly
Frame
- Basic assembly guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8ALzUluyXM
 - An other assembly guide: http://www.cardella.tk/2014/09/fpv250-quadcopter-build.html
 
Configure FCU: CC3D Atom
- Install OpenPilot GCS (install of openpilot fails but openpilotgcs is working) https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/Downloading+and+Installing+the+Ground+Control+Station
 - Hardware setup: https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/CopterControl+-+CC3D+-+Atom+Hardware+Setup
 - Full introduction to building a quad with the CC3D https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYsWjANuAm4r-E61stLchCR4bzY3NmDNh
 - Flash CleanFlight is very easy, via USB: http://nathan.vertile.com/blog/2015/04/27/flash-cleanflight-on-cc3d/
 
Batteries
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Multicopter/wiki/power
 - LiPo are dangerous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWdnjLqVWw
 -  C rating : the higher, the higher current you can draw http://www.rcheliwiki.com/C_rating
- C*Capacity in Ah=Current
 - Current: 20C * 2.2Ah = 44A
 - Power: 44A * 11.1V = 488.4W
 
 - S is the number of cells in series, and is representing the tension (1S=3.7V, 2S=7.4, 3S=11.1V, ...). P is in parallel. Usually LiPo are in series and P=1
 -  Balancing: Cells need to be a the same charge level so we can avoid overcharging.
- It's a good idea to always use the balance mode to charge a multiple cells battery
 - http://www.rcheliwiki.com/Balance_charger
 - Use the charger to check and rebalance cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChoy_PsVEg
 - A good trick to test is to charge the cells individually using the balance cable, it's much faster than the balance mode that needs to discharge overcharged cells a lot
 
 
Issue/Fix/WIP
-  
Having some problems with the vTX right now, apparently at full throttle. Electrical perturbations ?Good, got some new antennas - What is LC Filter and How it improve FPV experience
