Self promotion post but also relevant =D

I've been working on an indie game for a bit and basically in the process of giving it a visual overhaul.
The other planes are still being implemented but I worked on the DVII
Camera option for FPV (ish!) =]

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rc-a...2937?ls=1&mt=8

I can't do much about the design side, but I can pass suggestions forward for the next release

If it flies.....I can crash it
so I have had a bad morning.
went out to test my hal after staying up till 2am refitting and moving all the wiring about for a cleaner install.
On the field and lipo plugged in........bang, crackle, smoke poured out from the HAL shell.......Bu^&er

after pulling the lipo off I just sat there wondering how much money I had just killed.....and why

turns out wiring one esc negative to positive and positive to negative off the power board is a bad thing.


SO, anyone got a multistar 20amp opto they wanna sell.

tested naza and that seems all ok so that's the main thing

I found one 3 cell LiPo battery that I had charged fairly recently had basically discharged 2/3 cells, it wasn't puffy nor did it have signs of a problem. I tried resurrecting it by charging it like a NiMh until the 2 cells were up to 3.7 and then charging it normally.

I did this yesterday and have noticed that the two cells are now at ~4v where the 3rd is at ~4.17. Is there a chance there is a short? - there has been no temperature change so I'm not sure. Any Ideas?

Sounds like dead cells to me. Bin it before you loose a model :P. the cost if lipos these days it's not worth toying with a bad one.
