Great idea! I'll have to keep this in mind, my Meteor75 is on its way!

It's difficult to give a good estimate. Many parts have sat at that point for a while because we've been making sure the builder is completely ready before releasing it (the community was much faster at building parts than we expected!).
Over the next week or two, we should be able to publish many more parts now that the builder has been released.

It really depends on what you're looking for and what you're willing to spend.
If your budget is low and you're just excited about flying, go analog.
If you have a high budget and are interested in high-quality video, pick a digital option.


This article is a pretty long-winded answer, but it has a ton of useful information for making this choice: https://oscarliang.com/fpv-system/

I've done the same oscilloscope and function generator kits! They're great for learning how to solder, and I've found the oscilloscope to be pretty handy in some other projects, despite its inaccuracies.
I found these instructions on how to make the oscilloscope work with USB power, and there's a mod included at the end that can make the reading much cleaner, but I haven't had the time to try either mod yet: https://www.instructables.com/DSO138-USB-Power-No-Boost-Converter/

Cool! What software are you using? I've thought about doing the same thing myself, but have always been scared away by the PCB design softwares I've seen.

The parts database is limited to the parts in the catalogs of the stores that DIYFPV is linked to: https://www.diyfpv.com/catalog/stores. Unfortunately, it seems none have that part listed yet.
The Build from Photos option is still in development and in the beta phase because we want to focus on the parts currently in the catalog. 


Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for your willingness to help! Hopefully there are some other parts of yours you can help with in the meantime!

To add to tpetersons reply, there are often pads that are used by the manufacturer to test the part after production, and we don't need these. I typically go to the company's website and look for a pinout or a user manual to get or verify any information I can't infer. If you can't find what you need, do your best, and the reviewers can help you get the correct values. Just leave a comment pointing to things you're unsure about.

I understand your frustration with the expectations, we want every pad to be as accurate as possible because people will be using this tool to plan their drones wiring. If it says the wiring is right in the builder, but it's really wrong, they could end up frying their new components, so we try to be as accurate as possible.

Here’s the Mario 5 documentation, it looks like the main stack screws are the 25mm screws.


I think the 30mm screws are for an optional rear stack.

Yep, it's up to the community to create the parts used within the builder before it can be used. Click on Draw New Part and pick a part to contribute!
There's a helpful video in the lower left of the page that explains how to design new parts.

A beast of a charger

This charger is a beast, it charges up to four batteries at a time, supports a myriad of different battery types and options, and has USB A and C outputs. It works great, and I never have any issues.

Quick and easy

I have the red one, and it works perfectly! I love that I can power it with USB C, a larger battery, or a barrel jack with 6-26v. The screen is easy to read, and the UI is easy to figure out.

I’ve looked into it a bit, it’s not easy at all.

Nice flying! I was staying in St George recently to do some canyoneering in Zion National Park. I wish drones were allowed in National Parks, it was amazing!

Assuming all the parts are really compatible with 6S batteries, yes. Double check your FC, ESC, and VTX to be absolutely certain though.
If your motors have a higher KV rating specifically designed for 4S batteries, you should probably limit the maximum throttle in Betaflight so you don’t burn out the motors.

When I flew my first custom drone the first time. It wasn’t any special flying, but the drone was one I had built myself, picking each part based on exactly what I wanted. The feeling of exhilaration when it took off and flew flawlessly the first time was incredible.

Left a review on product RadioMaster Pocket Radio Controller

Great radio!

Fantastic radio! I bought this a few months ago to start on Velocidrone and Uncrashed, and have used it for my Air65 tiny whoop and my custom 5" build. It works great for simulator flying and real flying!

Let's take flight together and elevate the world of FPV drones to new heights.
