At the beginning of 2023 I was getting some of my models ready for a days flying. When I connected the battery to Clyde 1.2 the flight controller wouldn't boot up. After a lot of troubleshooting I discovered that the flight controller, GPS module, Lidar / optic flow module & FPV camera had all failed. I have no idea why as everything was working the last time I had it out.
Anyway, the faulty components have now been replaced. The Flight Controller is now a SpeedyBee F7 V3. The GPS module is the same make and model as before. The Lidar / optic flow module has been removed and the camera has been replaced with a Foxeer Razer Micro 16:9. It has also had the props upgraded to 6" from the original 5"
Clyde has had an upgrade!
Clyde v1.0 was a basic quadcopter.
Clyde v1.1 had GPS, LiDAR, & Optical flow added. I also changed from Betaflight to iNav to take advantage of the additional GPS functions.
Clyde 1.2 went FPV with the addition of a FPV camera and a VTx.
There are some photos of Clyde 1.2 in the gallery
