G day. I’m excited to announce the DIYFPV drone builder studio is officially live.

This interactive build studio lets you import your favourite FPV parts and create a virtual build. Looking back at our builder proof of concept vs what we have today fills me with such pride and hope for our hobby. (you can see the old concepts attatched to this post)

Features

- Import your parts into the build studio with 1-1 recreations from the community

-Alerts if there are any shorts or incorrect connections with your build

-Wiring assistant mode so you can see recommended ways to wire something up

-Learn mode - select any pad or pin. Learn its function, how it works and why it is important to your fpv build

-Share it with your friends, get feedback. Updates in real time

We also released a community build feature or as I like to call it the “build builder”. This is for people who want to not only create a wiring schematic of their build but also use it in a build guide. It will auto populate your components from your build, show the wiring schematic of how they go together and prompt you a few bits so making a full build guide is easier than ever.

New feature- the Part library is now available to all users. This is an easy way to inspect a part, check pinouts and mappings. Great for when you want to quickly check some technical aspects of a part you are about to build with. This started as an internal dev tool we were using to check components but it was so useful it is now open to all.

Stack and Multiboard support

The part builder now supports creating parts with multiple boards/stacks. Select add a new board when building your part and then just follow the normal build process. This means that when you import these parts into your drone builds in the studio it will automatically import both boards at once.

Thanks to everyone who submitted parts. Thanks to the mod and dev team who are doing wonders helping make DIYFPV the best it can be and a HUGE thanks to my fellow diyfpv co-founder Toms. @tpetersons The absolutely insane amount of hours and hard work really shows. Thank you.

The thing we need help with now is people continuing to make parts in the part builder or it would be amazing to see some people publishing some build guides for others to learn from. If you have a build you love to fly, please do a write up and build guide for it here on diyfpv.

Remember you are valued, care about and very welcome here at DIYFPV.

Happy flying

creamed my quad – some trees r dicks! #treesrdicks #notalltreesrdicks #sometreesrdicks #freestylefpv #nostab #onepack

Not all trees r dicks! Except this one! This one was a big DICK!

Damn tree! Out of no where, without warning, mid air, jumped out and bit my quad! Broke the top and bottom plate of the frame, crushed the stack, broke the runcam Phoenix 2 fpv camera, broke the runcam thumb V2 HD camera, smashed the ND16 camera filter, destroyed the analog VTX and the antenna connector. Sad part of the whole crash is, that it looked like I did it on purpose! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit! No worries though, I have another working #flieslikea5inch quad, so I’m good to go!!!! Feel my pain! Thanks for watching! Fly safe, fly free. #seniorcitizenfpv
