Hello, Yesterday I have been flying over a field and suddenly my wookong octo made a really strange move. After 2 big wobbles I gave it a bit of 'gas' and it flew ok. I landed immediatly (all motors spinning) and went home to watch what was wrong. Everything seemed normal, so I decided today to...

Is there any reason why i would take of the 5v power supply if it's fed by the hdmi cable?

It also works on a haier HTL7 7inch with immersion 25mw 5,8 and immersion receiver, but have to say that the images are not very crips which someone else mentioned, a small fpv cam gives me better image quality. Can this system give extra noise on the videosignal? My screen doesnt use full...

The wireing is both the same on the pot cables (white in the middle, black on the right). What else can be wrong? I don't understand why I need to remove the pot meter and fit the skyline on that side? On this video it seems that the skyline is on the side I have it. http://vimeo.com/39091397

I also receiver the skyline yesterday but I'm getting unlimited tilt rotating. It just won't stop rotating. I placed mine on the side where there is no servo (AV130). Is this ok? I got a mail (from my webshop) that it need to be placed at the other side (potmeter side), but at a AV130 there is...

EDIT: Nvm

Just ordered one of the converters, hope it will arive soon here so I can build. I also came across that base jump vid, don't know if I would be completely relaxed flying on that spot.:livid:

Sounds great, thanks. Think i will try it! The recorded image quality is what I mean indeed. Don't know why it will be reduced, but I'm asking to be sure it won't ;). BTW: Do you have any pics from the open case and the adjustment you've made?

Is the live view decreasing the recorder image in any way? Otherwise i need to go thinking about this option. By this time I thought about an extra fpv cam, but this is way better. I am not that good with electronics, but do you need to make a lot of adjustments to this thing from good luck buy?

How does that come? If 1 lipo fails the voltage on the distri board remains the same right?

Ok,that means I would leave the PMU out? And how do I connect the BEC to power everything? In a port on the DJI I don't use?

What bec and led's? By this time I received a lot of other parts. Still I need to order a bec to power the fc and so on. I also want to use led's for oriëntation. Are there led's which can be connected directly to the power distri board on 4s? What bec is suggested in combo with the wookong...

Great answers guys, thanks. What high power connectors would you guys use for lipo? For esc i thought about standard 3,5mm connectors. Most bigger connectors are not having a case, just the connector. Do you just put shrink tube around it? What bec is recommended?

That means 2 power boards connected with each 4 engines. As far as my electrical knowledge reaches that means that if 1 lipo fails the voltage remains the same because the boards are connected and it still gets powered? But what about the amps? Maybe a stupid thought, but arent both boards...

Hello all, I'm looking for a good power distribution for my DJI wookong octo. I received a lot of the parts and waiting for the carbon now. The octo will be powered by 2 x 5000 4S lipo's independently from each other. That means 1 lipo powering 4 motors. My though here was if 1 lipo fails...

As i'm not will be using a power distri board it will be a spider wire connection. So each lipo will power 4 motors and one of them is powering the DJI and receiver aswell. If the lipo that powers 4 motors, DJI and receiver fails how will I be able to use the other lipo? Do I need an extra BEC...

Came across a post from afropower board man himself and he said adding extra layer of solder doesnt make any difference. For octocopters he suggested make a spiderwire connection. In that case I'd like to know how people make these with good/reliable connections? Thanks for the link!

How do you guys do the power distribution on the octo's. Every powerdistribution board I see won't take enough amp's.. Maybe just connect all esc directly to each other is the best option? If so, how would that be connected the best way if 8 cables turn into 1?

I've seen that some people find DJI not working very well at large multicopters. How are the experiences from other users? As I know somebody how has CNC lasers, therefor I'd like to know if anybody has tried it before? Does it look nice when finished cutting? What esc's are recommended?

Since i have more lifting power with 8 motors i can take bigger lipo's for more flying time. How do you connect all esc's to 1 lipo and for the wookong?
