u/As-AboveSo-Below

Yesterday was a huge day:

✅ GPS lock achieved INDOORS (MicoAir M10 is a
beast - 22 sats inside)

✅ Compass fully working (QMC5883P fix)

✅ WiFi dashboard polished (°F/°C toggle, ft/m
toggle, calibration button)

✅ Mobula 8 FC connected and backed up

✅ MSP protocol library written and integrated
into firmware

✅ Firmware sending MSP packets, ready for
physical FC connection

⏳Current status: MSP code is live and sending - just needs the physical UART wires soldered between the nav module and the Mobula 8's FC. That's the next hands-on step for me. Than we can test Position Hold, RTH and a simple Waypoint Mission for starters.

Should be done by tomorrow 😮‍💨 6S 850mAh batteries fit so well. Looks like a mini 5in!

This build feels insane for a 3.5” freestyle quad. You’re looking at a mf beast 45A AIO and torquey 2004 KV3000 motors into a tiny Volador frame(Ordered a Deadcat frame but the X-Frame came instead), feeding it a 6S 120C pack for stupid amounts of punch and speed, then topping it with Walksnail digital HD(Upgrading to 4K soon), full GPS/compass, and premium props/antenna. It’s basically a mini cinematic/freestyle monster that’ll rip aggressive lines, hold position like a bigger rig, and look crystal clear doing it. Total overkill in the best way possible🫡!!! This thing is going to be an absolute weapon; thoughts on how to top this thing out?!
