<p>It is a timer for your fpv drones and whoops.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: R/C Vehicles Summary</h3> <h3> What it is?</h3> <p>It is a timer for your fpv drones and whoops.</p> <h3> How does it work?</h3> <p>It uses the video transmission signal to estimate the position of the drone, so no new hardware needed on the drones. You calibrate the signal in a certain "gate" and then track your lap times with it.</p> <h3> Make one</h3> <p>Print the case and order the parts. You have to superglue the switch slider parts. The two teardrop-shaped holes need to be filled with some translucent material. They difuse the ESP32 T8 leds, I used a 3d pen and translucent PLA as you can see in one of the photos.</p> <p>Check <a href="https://github.com/eried/pidflight-lap-firmware">https://github.com/eried/pidflight-lap-firmware</a> for more details.</p> <h3><strong> Parts</strong></h3> <ul> <li>ESP32 TTGO T8 <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d6sfNUb">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_d6sfNUb</a> </li> <li>RX5808 <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dUaM1rh">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_dUaM1rh</a></li> <li>2x 4.7K resistors</li> <li>Small battery (optional) i.e.: <a href="https://aliexpi.com/ZSsn">https://aliexpi.com/ZSsn</a></li> <li><p>Buzzer (optional) <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d75AAWT">https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_d75AAWT</a><br/> ###<strong> Software</strong></p> <p>It uses PIDFlight firmware and app (available for several platforms). I adapted the firmware to run on the ESP32. In the future it could work standalone, using BT, Wifi and the SD capabilities of the microcontroller.</p> </li> </ul> <p><em>Demo:</em> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKgIOPRDrkA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKgIOPRDrkA</a></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> HICTOP Prusa i3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> eSUN PLA </p>
