How To Read A Compass Like A Pro?
Navigation is a fundamental skill that has been essential to human survival for centuries. Whether you're an adventurer exploring the great outdoors or a mariner navigating the vast seas, understanding the art of compass reading is a valuable skill that can be the difference between getting lost and finding your way. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricacies of compass reading, teaching you how to read a compass like a pro. Let's begin by unraveling the basics. What is a compass? A compass is a straightforward but essential tool for finding direction that has been used for centuries to determine direction. It consists of a small magnetic needle, often marked with the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This alignment allows users to identify their heading accurately. How does a compass work? Compasses operate on the principles of magnetism. The Earth itself acts as a giant magnet, generating a magnetic field with distinct north and south poles. A compass needle is magnetized and freely pivots on a low-friction point. When the compass is held level, the needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing toward magnetic north.… -
The Compass in History
The history of the compass dates back more than 2,000 years, with its invention during the Han Dynasty in China between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD. The first compasses were made of lodestone, a naturally magnetized mineral. These early compasses had a magnetic needle or card that could rotate freely and, when positioned horizontally, would align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing to the Magnetic North-South direction. This remarkable device revolutionized navigation and played a pivotal role in shaping the course of human history. The Birth of the Compass in Ancient China The inception of the compass can be traced to ancient China, where it emerged as a crucial tool for early explorers and sailors.the compass's evolution in history, from its humble beginnings in China, is a testament to human ingenuity. The compass's journey through time has been marked by significant advancements, from the early use of lodestone to the sophisticated GPS technology of today. . These pioneering compasses were fashioned from lodestone, a naturally occurring magnetic mineral. The magnetic properties of lodestone were harnessed to create a device that could reliably indicate direction, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. This remarkable device…

Know Better About ESC From 5 Perspectives
Know Better About ESC From 5 Perspectives Electronic speed control (ESC), which an be divided into brushless motor electronic speed controls and brush motor electronic speed controls, is an indispensable part of the FPV. The following are some basic knowledge about brushless motor electronic speed controls, which is widely uesd compared with brush motor electronic speed controls, from five perspectives in order to have a better view ahout it. What is the function of ESC? Brushless motor powering The brushless motors are often powered by 3-phase AC power from the Brushless Electronic speed control systems, such as a variable frequency drive (VFD). In comparison to standard brushed motors, these types of motors are more popular because of their strength, efficiency, light weight, and durability. In comparison to brushed motor controllers, BLDC motor controllers are quite complex. Speed controlling Since this motor's speed can be altered by altering the voltage on its armature, various speed controllers are required. This type of motor requires a variety of operating guidelines, such as the ability to modify the motor speed by altering the timing of pulses for current supplied to the various motor wingings.

Flight Controller Explained: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding FPV Drone Control Systems
A flight controller is one of the most important components in a FPV drone. It’s responsible for stabilizing the aircraft, ensuring precise flight manoeuvres, and providing data to the pilot. In this article, we’ll explain in detail what a flight controller is, how it works, and why it’s such a critical part of any drone. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pilot, understanding the basics of flight controllers is crucial for getting the most out of your flying experience. Flight Controller: What it is and How it Works A flight controller, or “FC”, is like the brain of an FPV drone. It’s a circuit board equipped with sensors that detect the drone’s movements and user commands. With this information, the FC adjusts the speed of the motors to move the drone in the desired direction. All flight controllers have basic sensors like gyroscopes (gyro) and accelerometers (acc), while others may include other sensors such as barometric pressure sensors (barometer) and compasses (magnetometer). The FC can also serve as a hub for other drone peripherals like ESC, GPS, LED, servos, radio receiver FPV camera and VTX. As technology advances, flight controllers are getting smaller, more feature-packed, and using better processors… -
Yet another (3D printed toothpick) whoop frame
There are many use cases for 3D printing in our hobby. After a lot of testing and refinement my first successfully created part was a mounting option for a camera setup, I guess the most popular 3D printed FPV part. It was working much better than expected so that I started to think about other parts and finally ended-up in a new frame design for tiny brushless whoops. This article was submitted through the GetFPV Community Program by Kolibri F. Disclaimer: This article was written solely by a member of the FPV Community. Views and advice in this article are that of the author and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or views of GetFPV. Figure 1 (cover): Assembled frame and example low profile setup with top mounted battery, bottom mounted fc and camera in front (latest design comes with camera mount that supports 14 mm boards like RunCam Nano 3). In this article I want to share with you a printable whoop frame that combines the strengths of two interesting materials: polypropylene and bamboo toothpicks. The design looks crazy and before you stop reading, I can already tell that it seems to do very well and can easily be produced on… -
How to Find the Perfect Drone Racing Line
What separates a champion drone racing pilot from a novice? Better yet, what separates an average pilot from a novice? The obvious answer is of course skill and experience, but when you dig deeper and look at what skill and experience amount to, you find it really all boils down to lines – drone racing lines. I’ve seen extremely fast pilots consistently put up slow lap times simply because their lines were miserably inefficient, and I’ve seen novices beat the pants off of more skilled pilots simply because their lines were clean and tight. Even at the pro level, I would argue the difference between winning and losing comes down to the pilot who can find the perfect drone racing line and stick to it lap after lap, heat after heat. So with that said, if you haven’t read my previous article, “Drone Racing Practice Guide: 10 Maxims To Live By”, now is a good time skim it and review maxims 4,5, and 6 which paint broad strokes on the topic of racing lines So how does one find the perfect drone racing line? Most pilots naturally draw inspiration from go-karting and Formula 1 racing. After all, concepts such as… -
Let’s Build a CineWhoop (BetaFPV Pavo25 review)
By Advanced Flyer-July 14, 2022 Unfortunately, there aren’t many DIY CineWhoop kits out there and, probably, most of you would opt for a prebuild version or to put together your own kit. BetaFPV fulfils both situations by offering the BNF version and all individual parts of the Pavo25. There are two major advantages of starting with the BetaFPV Pavo25. The first is that you’ll better understand how FPV drones work, what are the main parts, and how to maintain them. The second is that, unlike most builds, there is much less soldering to do as most of the drone parts are plug-and-play. By definition, CineWhoops are intended to record FHD/4K aerial videos. In order to fulfil this, you will need a second camera. The ducted design makes it safer to fly around people or in tight spaces and also offers a little bit of extra stability. While 3″+ Whoops are capable to carry full-size action cameras, smaller 2-3″ drones can lift only lighter cameras that weights less than 50grams, such as the GoPro Bones, DJI Action 2, SMO 4K, Insta360 GO2 or the RunCam Thumb. Made with simplicity in mind, the Pavo25 can be quickly built even by those who…
