Thanks this is what I did and it's a good thing too since the tool doesn't even work. Cut off the extra plastic plugged it in and nothing. 😀

I tried to pull them out but they don't seem to move. I'll try harder if I can't find a cord. Thanks!

A regular extension cord doesn't fit so far but I'll check out the store and see the other options. Thanks.

None of mine fit but I'll look for one that does. Thanks!

Okay I'll have to check out the store. All of my extension cords are too big to fit in there. Thought there was going to be some proprietary thing. Thanks!

 

I acquired this older Black & Decker Hedge trimmer and it seems to have a special kind of cord. Any idea where I could find this cord or what its called? I have not been able to even figure out what the cord looks like yet.

UPDATE: I cut off the extra plastic to get access to plug it in and the tool doesn't even work anyways. Time for the garbage.

 

I have a Meteor 65 and 75 with SPI ELRS. This happened to both within a couple of months, wondering if anyone knows what is going on?

  • I was flying around normally having fun
  • I stopped to change batteries
  • Put the new battery in and it only does the first 3 beeps
  • There is no signal on the goggles
  • Plug the flight controller into Betaflight and the VTX (I think) starts smoking

The first time this happened, I cleaned everything up and it started working again but with very poor VTX signal. So I replaced the VTX and shortly after the accelerometer or gyro went out forcing me to replace the flight controller.

Now this just happened again on a different Meteor and before I go through the same steps as last time I'm wondering if anyone has some advice. Thanks.

I've been using Bruno since Postman started asking for an account. It works but it does feel like I'm missing a lot of features.

 
 
 

See title. Is it the spring lifting one side off the ground or is it something else like the cable on that side? Thanks for any advice!

Edit: From what I can tell the door and the floor are both slightly off level in opposite directions. I also just replaced the bottom seal in an attempt to fix this.

One thing I really like is that you can build anything with no cost. I like to build things (woodworking, etc) but software is by far the least expensive.

I was able to get it working thanks to some kind Redditors. I needed to downgrade ELRS from the latest version to 3.2.1 on the radio and then it worked. Final versions for anyone interested:

  • Radio (Radiomaster Pocket) - ELRS 3.2.1
  • Meteor 65/75 - Betaflight 4.4.2
 

I have the older version Meteor 65 and 75 with the SPI based ELRS receiver. I have tried to update them to the latest Betaflight 4.4.2 along with my transmitter (Radiomaster Pocket) to ELRS 3.3.0. I cannot get them to bind with or without a binding phrase. My Crux35 binds no problem with the binding phrase on ELRS 3.3.0 with the same transmitter. If I downgrade everything to ELRS 2 (Betaflight 4.3.1 on the Meteors) they all bind as expected.

Does anyone have ELRS V3 running on these SPI based boards? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Looking for any thoughts on if the RadioMaster Pocket is good controller for someone who is into this hobby, but not hard-core. Also what are the best goggles recommended on the cheaper side? I know the EV800D are always recommended. Will these last a long time? Is it worth getting something like the Skyzone Cobra X instead for over twice as much?
