G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 OK. Hey all. Excited for this mini quadcopter build. Does anyone know what flight controller would be best for a Devo 7 transmitter? And also any links on the mushroom antenna? I guess that would just be any 2.4 ghz antenna, no? Thanks and keep building, yo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Brand Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 RTFQ has this antenna for 5.8Ghz: http://www.readytoflyquads.com/5-8ghz-circular-polarized-antenna-rp-sma-with-sma-option As for FC, this is where the discussion in the latest episode about PPM vs PWM comes into play. If you can readily find receivers compatible with your transmitter that support PPM then get one of those and look for flight controllers that use PPM. If not, go the PWM route. Again, the advantage to PPM is a single wire for all communication from receiver to FC, instead of 1 per channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Cool. Thanks Jeff Brand and Wayne Hobbins . I'll check those out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Steve Prior Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 My first quad was a Flip 1.5, but I wanted to support Sbus and telemetry plus GPS and LED strip so I bought a Naze32 and OSDoge, but have since found out that this board supports those things, but not all at once. The SP3 does, but I've seen complaints about quality. So now I just heard of the Luminer LUX which is cheaper than the SP3 and seems to do all the same stuff, though I don't know whether the OSDoge will work with it. No cost answers in this hobby.

G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Think I might be going with the naza-m lite. Can add a gps later maybe on another project. Might be too heavy for the little build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian “Yikesfpv” Gipe Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 So if I can use sbus, would that be better than ppm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
