So from racedayquads i got the deepspace seeker 35 04 pro with elrs and gps it comes with the bz-121 mod and as in the picture the tx is to rx and rx to tx and its uart 4 which i updated in beta and this drone has yet to lock on a satellite since ive gotten it. The gps module lights up a solid red light but it should be blinking..any ideas?

Hey, not sure if I'm in the right section....but for the "Marketplace" filters...There are European countries where somebody is selling something....Would be possible to add "Europe" to filter? So user don't need to select european countries one by one? Usually shipping across Europe is easily possible...So I'd like to see all advertisements from Europe.
Thx :)

Hello is there a way to make a tool to compare latency in the different vtx systems? i´m on analog and i´m checking out the P1, but 60ms latency feels aloth, is it possible to buld a tool to compare the latency between the diffrent systems?

Question about the builder and parts, generally but maybe mostly to devs/reviewers of parts:
What part categories are lacking the most - is it receivers/FCs/ESCs/sensors/something else?
(Mainly looking for where you would like me and others to focus most on trying to add parts as opposed to what I've been doing so far: just grab something I want to work on randomly.)

Hey folks, anyone in the Washington State area know of good spots to fly FPV? Specifically looking for bandos.
also - if anyone knows of meet and greets for beginners I’m keen on finding those!

Duplicate part found (I think)
"TBS Crossfire Nano RX FPV Long Range Drone Receiver"
&
"TBS Crossfire Nano 900MHz Receiver w/CRSF Micro Antenna"
TBS doesn't make two versions named like that from what I can see on their page, and if images of the products in the builder are rotated they seem to match perfectly.
See attached screenshots & link below.
https://www.team-blacksheep.com/shop/q:tbs%20crossfire%20nano
Ps, please advice if you want me to stop reporting duplicates and or want me to report them in some other way than "spamming" the #suggestions when I find them. <3

Duplicate parts in the builder.
There are now duplicate parts either imported or manually added, example:
SpeedyBee F405 is listed as having 3 versions.
Problem:
Only 2 exist.
(The F405 Wing APP & F405 Wing MINI (The name of the imported parts suggests 3 exist but that's probably due to naming issues from rotor riot or the source of the imported parts))
Consequence:
We now have multiple ppl working on a part that doesn't even really exist.
Verifiable via SpeedyBees own website, see screenshots and links below.
https://www.speedybee.com/flight-controller/?page=1
https://www.speedybee.com/search.php?search_query=F405%20Wing§ion=product
Our catalog is syncing 30+ different stores and they all have different titles (in most cases) for the products. So we use our own AI algorithm to match these products but often AI is uncertain about the match and creates separate product(/s). These we try to catch manually and we have MOD controls to fix these products.
I will fix this specific product and merge the duplicates, which should change the productId in the builder so nothing get's lost.

Free FPV tool idea: OSD profile creator
I have an idea for another free FPV tool that might be handy: an OSD profile creator without the need of a plugged in flight controller. What I'm thinking of is the Betaflight OSD tab, and any customization can be saved to a CLI dump to be used across multiple quads and shared online. I also think it would not be totally out of place if it were part of this website.

Suggestion for Builder:
Add a function to mark a part as problematic/incorrect/legacy/etc and be able to add comments to it so future creators of parts don't spend time on something that is either incorrectly named or imported.
Reasoning: there are now parts in the builder imported - I assume, from rotor riot.
Example:
This part "Holybro Tekko32 F4 Metal 32Bit 65A 30x30 4in1 ESC" that has been updated and the imported version is as far as I can find, no longer sold with the imported design and specs - like the firmware etc.

Suggestion for Builder
Components that have a wire and not just pads: when the feature opens up to allow us to submit own pictures, could this be a possible workaround? See my attached photos, basically: Clear picture of the component with the end of the wire on top of the part on one side?
(Obviously with better placement of the connector etc to not block as much - these are just example photos.)

How exactly this review pushback works in the Builder? I submitted the part, it got pushed back to Draft, but without any comment from the reviewer. So it is not really clear what should be improved?
There were some missing topics on the part, e.g. some pins in the ribbon connector were not labeled. They were not labeled, because I don't know how I should label them, based on the information provided from the manufacturer. Probably someone more experienced is able to do it based just on experience. The question here is what is a better way of working: guessing the pad, or leaving it unknown (like I did), so during review someone more experienced can fill this gap, when 95% of the part is already correctly done?
The part in question was GEPRC TAKER G4 45A 8Bit AIO, and ribbon cable to O3 air unit. On the manufacturer website there is only scheme with labels on the air unit side, with RX and TX cables labelled. But RX on VTX side should be TX on the FC side, if I am not mistaken. How to interpret it? I don't know, and I don't want to make a mistake that will slip the review and cause even more confusion in the builder later.
The builder require tons of parts to be drawn, and there can be people in the community willing to invest time into it, but without expertise to deliver 100%, so what is the proper workflow for such person?
This reply has been deleted and is no longer available.
I would have to go check the exact part and the exact submission for this to be 100% sure but in the mean time I can offer some insight.
Most likely if a part was reverted to draft instead of changes requested will be for 2 reasons. It is an awesome part, AND a build has been published since. We are trying to get through as many parts as possible with the small team we have. If your part was sent to draft it is because we really liked it, and we want that work to still be there and valued.
In the future we will have the option for users to choose their specific version of a part build if there are multiple, but currently we are working on if there is one already published, we send the rest back to draft so rpeserve them for a future when users can choose others.
There should have been a note explaining this on the draft and im sorry if this didnt happen. It was not because your part isnt awesome, it was because we are trying our best to get as many parts approved as possible with the resources we have. We have also been working on a system where parts that are approved dont show up for selection for new builders etc. (this is a work in progress. there is a trade off where if we have 10 submissions for 1 part vs 10 parts with 1 submission each... we have to pcik the 10 parts with 1 sub. this jus gets parts into the builder at a faster rate.
I know when i was looking at some parts in a live stream last week I just had to send a lot back because there were already some published, and you can really see me feeling bad about it.
we will have some updates soon, we will also have a "stale" option which is when a part is requested to have changes but the original user cant do the changes or they dont come back, after a set amount of time the part becomes stale and then other users can jump in and complete this work. this might allow for your tx rx problem to be sovled by someone who might have the part or know exactly where to find the info online etc.
anyways thanks for the feedback. your work truly is appreciated.

The new drone builder is really a great idea.
I made already 3 parts of my drone.
But I'm missing an option to use own photos, to build the parts, because some photos are taken in an angle, but I have some other directly from front and back (mostly found in the manuals).
Also a contact in the drone builder to report bugs, missing functions or suggestions for improvements would be fine (i.e. I tried to build a PWM-receiver, but I didn't found a part to build the servo-connectors).
do you not see it here like in this video https://www.youtube.com/live/1jILY3tAK44?si=4XsvjkMy7pqj6rWv&t=2209

Heyy @uavfutures
Just made the HDzero Whoop V2 VTX in the builder, but there was no MIPI connector, which I think is important for connecting the camera. Just leaving some feedback, no pressure 😉

@tpetersons @uavfutures I just watched the new livestream clip from Joshua B. in which he talks about how to choose prop size... after that i used google to look if some sort of calculator exists.. well there are multiple available... but i think it would be amazing if you include such a tool on DIYFPV! The one i like the most because its fairly simple to figure out what you need or want to achieve is this one:
this calculator would be useful for things like trying to max speed run, or longest flight time but for most pilots is could be a number trap. like trying to change some tiny pid settings to improve a lap time when the best thing you could do is instead just get a few more packs in and practice flying.
I dont know. Would you use it often? We want to build amazing things for the community but we only have x amount of resources and need to focus on specific things.
PS your parts in the builder are AAAwesome
No worries It was just an idea 😜 I thought of it like the FPV goggles comparison tool.

Are you gone to make a app version of diyfpv so we can you more affectly on our phones
Try even make a apk that works for Android and apple that we can download and install

Is there a way to add more images to the Builder?
I am working on the HappyModel 2.4G ELRS EP1 and it only has a low res, image of the backside. I would have images from straig on top of both the front and back side.
I'm almost certain I am probably missing something.
Thanks for your contribution to the builder, we are improving these tools every day.
