Auto iFlight Mecan FPV | Esaminare il rigonfiamento e la configurazione in betaflight
On june 2020, a flight released a video to their instagram account showcasing this cool car at the time they didn’t name it or they didn’t tell us if they’re going to sell it or not, but not long ago i saw on the website start selling the frame And the wheels and also sell those these specially designed motors for the mccann. So here we can see the product page on iflight website the frame and will cost 70 Dollari, not including the electronic you will need to get in order to build it. So if you want to build the mccann fpv car, you will need to buy the frame. You also need a sussex af4 flight controller, which is an all in one with an esc. You will also need a special design stream 2207, which are just a regular 2207, but instead of being 1800 O 2400 Kv, they are a thousand kv. You will also need a dji unit or a vt or an analog vtx, and i find recommend using a forest battery with a 1300 million per hour capacity. So now you know which parts you need in order to build them account. So let’s start the build. So in front of me we can see all the parts we need in order to build the iflight mechanic. We have the wheels, we have the carbon parts, we have the tpu parts, the screws and the motors. Here we have the flight controller, which is an all in one flight controller, with an esc for my flight it’s, the sussex af4, and we also have the dji air unit.
My version has the mmcx2 sma cable, but if you have the version with the mmcx 90 degree straight to the antenna, it will be easier for you now that we saw all the parts let’s start the build. We first start with the bottom plate. We need to connect four standoffs. We’Ll take this 32 millimeter standoff and this m3 8 millimeter a screw. Now each standoff is in his own place. Next we’ll take those small standoffs and screw them into the motor plates. We have four plates and we need each plates to have two standoffs so now that we are done with the standoff and the plates we’ll take our four motors and we’ll take the scores that came with the motor and connect each motor to its own plate. Now we have four models connected to the plates. We’Ll take the rest of the plates we have and we need to connect them to the standoffs. So now that we are done with the motor let’s put them aside, we need to take the remaining standoff and connect them to the middle plate using the long m2 screws. Here we can see where we need to connect the standoff. We have those two millimeter hole in the middle plate. We need to use the one that i’m, showing after connecting the fourth standoff we’ll, take the top plate and see that the holes are aligned now let’s take the bottom plate and the four motors and connect them as we can see here.
We just need to push the motors to the right places and now just take the middle plate and put it on top of the motors and connect the four screws now we’ll take the m3 screws, the longest entry screw that comes in the kit and put them Inside the holes for the flight controller, now let’s take the flight controller and place it make sure you look at the arrow of the flight controller and place it to the front of the car. Here we can see the front of the car now that we have the flight controller in its place. We need to solder the motor wires, come potete vedere qui, i’m routing them to this cutout make sure to cut the motor wires to the right length. So they will stay inside the cutout, so now after soldering the motor wires, we need to put the tpu parts here. We can see the two tpu parts for the air unit. The part have a standard hole to go to the standoff and one which has a place to put the nut in, as we can see so. The standard hole go to the stand of in front on the front side of the car, and the nut goes in the back. Now you can see when we take the top plate, those two screw holes can be used with the nuts in the tpu. Now let’s. Take the dji air unit we can see. I already put my receiver inside the tpu part now.
The last thing we left with is to plug everything to the flight controller. I have one plug for the air unit and the receiver, and after that we need to place everything in its own place. Now that we finished connecting all the electronic and the top plates we’ll take the wheels and connect them to the macan. Connecting the wheel is very simple: all we need to do is just tight. Those two screws with the allen key that we got in the kit, but before we will do this, we need to go to better flight and configure them account. The first step is going to iflight website and search for demicon, now scroll down and press the mechanical factory, dom before getting into better flight open the file we have just downloaded. If you are not using the dji controller, you may need to change this setting in order to make make your receiver work properly. Così, instead of the set s bus but fest equals on, you need to change it to equals to off now let’s. Take the mechanic connected to our computer and open betaflight first thing: we go to cli load from file, and then we choose the a file we just downloaded and press execute after the mechan is finished, the execute and reset itself. We need to go to uh the ports and we need to check that everything is okay. The serial racks and the uarts here in the receiver make sure that your receiver is working.
The channel map is correct in the pit tuning don’t change. Anything and don’t touch the raid profile. Qui. You need to assign an arm, interruttore, a beeper and a flip after crash, so you can reverse in the osd. You can change as you want and if you’re using an analog vtx, you need to make sure you set up here in the video transmitter tab. So the mechanic is ready. All we need to do in order to drive. It is to use the throttle to move forward and they are stick to move right and left so first thing: first, we need to arm it and now it’s armed and when we give it a little bit of throttle, it will start going forward. So let’s say you are got stuck in this in this position when you try to move forward, you can’t, so in order to move in reverse, all you need to do is to move the switch to flip of the crash and then arm it again and using The right stick: you can move it backwards so after driving the mechanic for a couple of minutes, i noticed that when the turtle is at zero, i don’t have steering so if i’m going fast and i want to slow down. Ho, Naturalmente,, decreased my throttle to zero, but then i lose the ability to steer, left and right and that’s, because the air mode is off and when air mode is off the end, the throttle is at zero.
The motor stops spinning. So i found a way to fix it all you need to do in the in the remote. You need to go to logical switches and make this simple code, which i show you on the screen and, Naturalmente,, on spatial function. Also do those two lines. So this spatial function enable you to steer the mechan left and right when the total is at zero. Così, as you can see now, the total is at zero and i can spill it. So what i’ve done with the logical switches is very simple uh when the total is at zero and we give an input on the left going left or right and both of those conditions are at the same time, the the controller is giving the mechan a a Signal at the total that the total position is at the minimum, so we can spin his motor going left and right, come possiamo vedere qui, i’m currently on total zero. I don’t move it up and it still can turn Music. So that was my review and build of the new product from i fly the mechanic tv vehicle, Credo, it’s a great addition to fpv hobby. I know it’s not a drone, but it’s used a very common parts as a drone except of the frame, and it also looks cool and it’s very fun to drive at the line of sight, and you know with the goggles. So tell me in the comments.
What do you think about this new mechanic? If you want to get one for yourself or we prefer spending your money on other drone parts?
