Tarmo4 DJI FPV Mod V2

thingiverse

Using some preexisting DJI FPV mounts for drones, I remixed them to work seamlessly with the Tarmo4 as an FPV system. The FC_ESC_CaseBot is securely attached to the center gear box top using Guerrilla Glue (any glue will suffice). I opted for this approach to allow users maximum flexibility in mounting as desired. The camera is positioned left of the air unit's central axis, so attaching it to the right side of the gearbox lid ensures perfect alignment. A basic wiring diagram illustrates how my setup is wired. I'm using the Kakute F7 HDV flight controller and ESC with prebuilt wiring harnesses, which minimizes soldering needs except for power wires from the drone ESC to the RC car ESC that share an XT60 connector. Although powering the DJI air unit directly is possible, it's not recommended by DJI, and I had spare units available for this setup. Good luck, and happy driving! This project is a fantastic blend of innovation and RC expertise. As a newcomer to design and Tarmo, I appreciate your understanding and feedback.

Remove any excess supports carefully, as they will come out relatively clean with some effort. The minimal supports in screw holes don't need to be removed; instead, use M3 screws that push them away. A slightly longer screw is required for securing the camera mount. Camera mounts also require supports, which are easily removable. Version 2 Notes: - Improved topology of the base and air unit holder ensures missing geometry isn't an issue during slicing. - Added notches to the air unit holder and base to lock in place securely. With V1, vibrations from the car would cause them to jiggle loose, but this modification should enhance stability. - Tightened up the area around the antennas for both the lid and air unit holder to keep them snug and secure. Zip tying your antennas to surrounding components is also recommended for added security.
