Vector FC plus OSD

[Gary Seven]

Hello everyone. Just saw this video posted by FliteTest about a new FC from Vector. I've only heard bits and pieces about Vector in the past, so I'm just posting this link as a "That's interesting" sort of thing.

Sorry to post it here, but there is no Vector subforum to post. Enjoy!

i can speak for the vector on a blackout hex i love it, its simple like naza as far as plug and play is concerned but has the GUI that rivals open pilots gui as far as ease of fine tuning the pids, eagle tree everything you could possibly need out of a fc i will be buying another

I currenty own a cc3d, op revo, 2 multiwii ez pro3, naza m v2, and i love my eagle tree over all of them

Just bought one last week but have not had a chance to get it mounted into something yet.

Plan is to use it in my Q400-X, should be a good match.

Pete, would you post your thoughts on this thing after you get it installed and up and running? Thx!

Heres a couple laptop cam pictures of my blackout with everything all jambed inside., she isn't pretty but the winters are long here in Ontario so I have lots of time to tear her apart and clean her up


side note, im running dragon link and a RMRC 1.3 video all within 4 inches of each other and shes been bullet proof so far (knock on wood) : )

Does this have waypoint navigation?

Does this have waypoint navigation?

Apparently (from what I've read).

 

[navycut81]

yes as Gary answered there is waypoints but not autonomous waypoints, waypoints are engaged through a fight switch on your controler

Hey Gary, not sure I will have much time til after Christmas due to moving back into our newly renovated house but will certainly post up my findings once I do.

I'm pondering selection of an FC for a new bird ready for installation. The Vector is one if those being considered so personal assessments of ease of installation, user friendly or not, control response, GPS accuracy, and tuning would be great to hear about. Yea, I'm not asking for much, but they sure would be appreciated.

Criminy Pete, I didn't mean to imply during the holidays. What I meant was, "some day when you get the time."

I personally highly recommend the vector IMHO it seem so far to be a rock solid platform for my hex, installation is a breeze, just solder the pmu to your power distribution board, everything else video, transmitter, mic, is all done with standard servo connectors plus the added bonus of a full color HUD plus every bell and whistle imaginable. GPS accuracy is good but there is a bit of toilet bowling (thinking its more my pids then the vector) but solid 7-12 sats in my garage where my naza gets no sats and my apm ublox neo6m gets 5-9 sats on the bench. Tuning is much the same as the open pilot gui very easy to navigate and the ability to assign a pot to fine tune your gains. Control response is on par with my multiwii and op revo and cc3d, very solid and responsive, but that has a lot to do with your gain settings
