Bluetooth Adapter

I don't use BT that much, but this HC-06 is only 1.4 grams and is an easy addition to a Ladybird without much weight penalty.

For those that like to solder little things, make little pcb boards and use CA.

Could the HC-06 use the 3.3 volt supply the is meant for the External Rx?

Larry,

The 3v3 power on the V2 board has the current capability but it is the main power buss for all the sensors, rec, gps etc.

You may bring unwanted noise into the system. If it's just a little indoor LB no problem, but I wouldn't do it on BLDC.

It's all about weight and that was my point of doing it that way. 3 grams is a 10 percent increase in weight for a micro.

Not sure what you gain by having the board face up.

If your going to fly the micro's, weight is a huge issue.

This is a modified LB frame( took the plastic junk off the motors) with 5.8 ghz FPV and a 380mah battery. It weighs 44.2 grams. That's still too heavy but about the best I can do without designing a dedicated camera transmitter. You have to save every gram of weight to make it fly correctly. I could save a gram if I took off the large wide angle lense but I prefer it for indoor's.

It is only 4.2 grams heavier than a stock M4v2.

I saw a post a while back from benidikt the motor guy and he had it pretty much nailed. A 5 gram frame is wow!!, 10 grams ok and 15 grams not so good for 7mm motors.
