What I Did Today: Feb 28, 2018 (Patreon)

Adrenaline and R-Line battery testing. Performed the 30, 40, 50, and 60 amp discharge tests.  A CLEAR WINNER in this test has occurred. One of the packs has reached <50% capacity at 60 amps. One of the packs is going to make it at least to 70, and maybe 80 amps. Such a big disparity on two top-tier packs is really surprising.

Found a volunteer to create an index of time-stamps for my last livestream. Updated the livestream video with the index.

Started organizing footage for my "Betaflight 3.3 filters" video that I recorded yesterday. Basically, import all the footage into Premiere and arrange it on a timeline so I can switch back and forth between cameras (head-cam, on-quad GoPro, DVR, or desktop screen recording) in editing. Probably about half the work in a multi-camera shoot is bringing in the footage and laying it out on the timeline.

Spent about 2 hours learning about the new Betaflight 3.3 filters on Github. Had some conversations with devs discussing best practices for tuning the filters. It's tough to know what to say since not everybody agrees. And it looks like RC4 is going to slightly change things anyway! UAV Tech on YouTube is doing some really great deep dives into the development.

Updated the firmware on my ClearView module. Installed it in my goggles. Recorded an overview of the installation and a brief walkthrough of the menus.

Added Holybro Tekkos/Kakute/Atlatl all in one stack to the Ultimate FPV Shopping List.

Started pulling together gear for my next Fatshark Module (and etc.) test. Will include: ClearView, Fatshark Transformer, DJI Goggles RE, SkyZone Sky03, Eachine Pro58 with Achilles Pro, and LaForge... v3. I wish it could include LaForge v4 but they still haven't solved the issue they are having with OSD stuttering on some goggles, and so they haven't gotten me a module. And I can't afford to wait much longer :-(

Installed receiver on the new (not yet released I think?) Eachine Wizard that I was sent for evaluation. This thing makes me wince with clone-tastic-ness. The antenna is a blatant rip of a Triumph and the frame is clearly filking the Floss. But the Wizard has been so many people's first quad that I kind of can't bear to ignore it on principle.

Finally got the latest screws from Armattan for the Rooster that I have been holding onto for months. The 1st screws were defective. Then they sent me the replacement screws, and they turned out to be defective. Then it was Chinese New Year. Finally I have the parts I need to do a review of this frame, or maybe a build. Not sure exactly what form this will take since Armattan also pays me to make content specifically for their site, but I suspect some content will also make it to my channel.

Trip to UPS store to mail off work-related packages (giveaway items and etc).
