What arrived today?

[CurryKitten]

Yes - never one to miss a video making opportunity :)

Just tried it out, and the display is quite pleasing, and diversity seemed to work well (just putting my hand over the SMA connectors)  These will need work to fit nicely - the diversity part has no way of securing it, so I'll have to have a think about how to put that in and print up some covers for both ports.

What it isn't is a plug and play sort of thing.

is this for fatshark goggles?

Love my Dragons.
Don't forget to tune / calibrate the receivers....
LOL Grandmothers, eggs etc.
:P

I did wonder, but then read with the V3's you don't tune anymore they are done.

[Dillwhacker]

I think the 'V3' refers to the TX.
I read somewhere that all micro receivers should be calibrated, despite the confusing DL video that says if the blue LED is solid, it's not required.
So I asked Michael at DL, and he said 'you should do it on micro receivers', in the GUI PC App.
So I did, and get rock solid 90% RSSI at 3.5km on low power - good enough for me.
;)

Odd i will have to look into it further becauae the tune / calibrate option is not selectable in the GUI. It says for V2 only when you try to click on it.

[Dillwhacker]

Oh, OK, I may be wrong...
Maybe my receivers are running V2, although they were bought recently,.
The calibrate worked in my gui, so I may have misled you.

I've just been messing with printing up some covers, but looks like Realacc are actually producing some proper injection moulded ones for it, so first test will be looking a bit rough and ready, and hoping that helical doesn't pull those sticky pads off !

That wire is messy, but I'd prefer not to open up the goggles and mod them to get it internal really - I'll sort out a way of covering up when/if they test out ok

That somehow looks cool with the display on the front. Hope it works out for you!

Yeah - that's what I was talking about when I said Realacc are bringing out some injection moulded covers.  on Banggood, but not quite released yet

Offered to help my parents tidy their garage today and found these, my old radios from around 30 years ago. So not a new arrival but a return :D

[English Turbines]

I had a Futaba Challenger back then, most people did....Flew it to death, definately had my moneysworth out of that radio...
  I bet if you charged it up, it would still work....:)
