Hello All, Had a pretty rough go of it today. We were flying at 8-10 feet today, doing a little tuning in stabilize mode. Craft was looking more stable than it ever has. Entered forward flight,…Continue

I should also mention that I'm out of channels available to simply do it via transmitter switch...
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to get the relay output function to activate/deactivate based on arming/disarming respectively? I'd like my nav lights to come on when the bird is armed, and turn off when disarmed, but have yet to find a way to do it.
Thanks Paul, but that's a thing cant get either one, there are no simple ones for sale and the Edison one are sold out.... I've actually managed to crash mine so the front part of the pcb folded up.... (tight space used it without the case)
sure can.
I managed to blow out a power connector (detached from the board) reflowing didn't seem to work... replacement board (non-Edison) was also a lot cheaper
just looked it up...bought mine from

Hey guys/gals, does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a basic carrier board without the cube?
was heavy into the early days of electric RC cars.... needed a cheap radio link for a robotics project...next thing you knew I had 10+RC cars and a crap load of trophies and ribbons. Was heavy into mfr/designing/marketing custom electronics for the industry back then. (power side)...didn't realize the hobby simply 'left the ground' (got airborne...literally) Doing for autonomy...I was attempting in the late 80s trying to keep a road car pinned to the inside wall of a race track. Now it's just all 3D (and a hell of a lot cheaper $$!)
wow, love the router.. Extra heavy duty! I see you've been tinkering a lot over the years. So from Cars to drones? . I've studied Agriculture, college level mechanical engineering and now I have 1 year left in Industrial electronics, also college level. I've only worked on lightweight projects up to now (except for my house).
ha ha ... (? advanced user ?)
nah...just a fellow madman geek... LOVE to experiment
my normal work looks more like

I'm glad you are in here with me: I can certainly use advice from an advanced user like you.. As for my purchase, I guess I got super lucky; too bad I have no idea what to do with an Edison Chip. I suppose at some point I will want to tinker with a companion computer but for now I will be quite content with achieving autonomous flight on my fixed wing aircraft.
This is the first plane I will attempt to automate with my new PH2.1:
She's called the Junco3 , has a wingspan of 48 inches, weighs 2600Gr. (5 lbs 12 oz) and is powered by two 45 Amp setups in 3s (35-30 1400Kv with 10x4.7 props). Her cubic wingload is about 10.5 so she's a very aggressive flyer but flies 'on rails'. She has flaps for slower landings.
I will post pictures next week (my mother has my camera) but here is a CAD drawing:
the 'edison-less' base does NOT have the ports on the side (as mine is...no edison)
