Flywoo Nano Baby V1 Must Have Setup Tips

[@FpvBudgetBuilds]

Great video. I really like my Flywoo baby nano. It is my first elrs quad and I'm impressed how far you can go for a nano quad. I find it to be alot of fun so far. I have taken it through areas that would failsafe a D8 receiver and had no problems. 👍

[@slogfpv5679]

Yes it is so refreshing not having to worry about failsafes on a nano quad! You forget how small this thing is. Once you get the V1.2 tune on it, it flies great. Cheers, SLOG

My drone use frsky d8 can't bind with jumper t-lite cc2500.

[@slogfpv5679]

Make sure in the Betaflight configurator 10.8 that you have the "Receiver Mode" set to "SPI Rx" and the "SPI Bus Receiver Provider" set to "FRSKY_D". To put the quad into bind mode type "bind_rx" in the CLI. Then make sure you are binding your transmitter with Type "Frsky D" and Subtype "D8". I hope this helps, SLOIG

[@hitlab]

Does anyone have any advice on what kind of a remote controller to buy for this thing. I was just give her one for Christmas and I’m a complete newbie not sure how do you set it up. The documentation is pretty confusing. I haven’t found any kind of straightforward set up tutorial and again since the drone didn’t come with any kind of a remote control device I assume this has to be bought separately?

[@slogfpv5679]

Not sure what receiver version (protocol) you purchased so that will dictate what RC Transmitter you would choose. If you got the ExpressLRS version, a cheaper transmitter would be the BetaFPV LiteRadio3. Also here is a tutorial on the different protocols that are common followed by a getting started video by Joshua Bardwell.

[@90dubie]

How do you bind it. I got it in elrs and the betafpv lite radio 3 and I can't get it to bind. Can you help if possible. Thanks.

[@slogfpv5679]

@Justin Dubie, I don't have that radio but you need to make sure you are running the same version of ELRS on both radio and the receiver. I am not sure what Flywoo is currently shipping with. The 1.x versions are not compatible with 2.x versions. My understanding is the Betafpv lite radio 3 is still shipped with 1.x ELRS. But first I would try pushing the bind button on the radio. Dronecamps RC did a video on binding with this radio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiraqepatt2eqM If that does not work would go to the getting started guide for ExpressLRS: www.expresslrs.org/1.0/quick-start/getting-started/ here is the section on traditional binding

I have a question: If i have SPI Frsky drone receiver i need Frsky protocol for ratio transmitter? (LiteRadio 2 SE)

[@slogfpv5679]

Hi Bobdi, yes the "BetaFPV LiteRadio 2 SE RC Transmitter 2.4GHz - FRSKY D8/D16" is a good entry level choice as it supports the older ACCST pre 2.x Frsky protocol which supports SPI Frsky receivers. I would caution against Frsky radios with 2.x FW which will not be compatible with SPI receivers as they are running 1.x FW. SLOG

Hello there, I have a question about my Flywoo baby 1s FR model with elrs 2.4, on the elrs Configurations what RX should I choose? PP , EP1 or EP2 ? Would you please tell me. Thank you 🙏

[@slogfpv5679]

Hi 65oon, if you are asking how you configure for this drone (ELRS version) in the Betaflight configurator, the receiver (receiver mode) = serial (via URART). Serial Receiver Provider = CRSF

[@65oon]

Hello there Sir, thank you for your reply. But my question is how you choose RX on the Elrs Configuration , my Remote I used HappyModel TX 2400., What elrs they use on Flywoo baby FR, is it use ( pp, ep1 or ep2 ? ) So I can build and flash. ( not for Betaflight configurations) Thank you again

[@slogfpv5679]

​@@65oon the Flywoo Nano Baby comes with the Flywoo ELRS EL24E 2.4 GHz Receiver not the HappyModel (unless you soldered it on yourself). With the latest ELRS configurator you would select release = 2.3 (latest official release), Device Category = Flywoo 2.4 GHz, Device = Flywoo EL24E 2400RX. You will get a warning from the developers to use at your own risk as Flywoo did not send the developers a sample. If you are using the HappyModel I would try EP via WIFI (only two choices EP and PP with latest configurator). Link below to what I think you are using: www.racedayquads.com/products/happymodel-ep2-rx-express-lrs-receiver

Thank you Sir, For informations Now it’s a clearer. Once again thank you 🙏

[@Combersome]

Ok I bought the PNP model V1.2 How do I bind it to my FrSky Taranis Qx7 ACCST transmitter? It supports D8 protocol I have used my emax tinyhawk drones with this transmitter and they work fine. The manual says to use a FrSky SPI receiver but does not give a model type to use any suggestions. Tech: Firefly 1S Nano Baby Quad V1.2 BNF, Receiver PNP, GOKU Versitile F4 5-IN-1 1S A10 with 250 VTX, Motors ROBO 0802.4 16500KV . Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

[@slogfpv5679]

Hi Zen, the Firefly 1S Nano Baby comes in 4 receivers configurations (PNP, SPI FRSKY, ELRS and TBS Crossfire). If you have the Plug N Play version (no receiver) you will have to buy a receiver and solder it on the flight controller. Looks like the FC does support SBUS so you could solder on a Frsky XM+ receiver. I think they still ship those with pre ACCST 2.0 FW or the RadioMaster R81 2.4GHz micro receiver which I know supports D8. SLOG

[@Combersome]

@@slogfpv5679 I have a FrSky XM+ and it does not bind to my PNP when I set my transmitter to D8 mode the light just blinks red on the receiver. I sent a email to Flywoo and they said that I have to buy the SPI FRSKY drone! No answer on what kind of receiver that I should use just to buy another drone? No support what so ever. I have flashed my ECS to PNP and to the FrSky and still no binding. I am going to send them a email to see if I can exchange this one for a SPI FRSKY? What do you think, will I be able to fix this or have to send it back?

[@slogfpv5679]

@@Combersome I would try running in D16 mode vs D8. Also, the ACCST FW version loaded on the XM+ might not support the FW currently loaded on your transmitter. Frysky really caused a lot of issues when they broke backward compatibility with D8/D16 recievers running older FW versions (pre-ACCST 2.0). Here is a good video on the topic from Joshua Bardwell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrKZoCcicmcr9k SLOG

I brought this quad and was not impressed with the vtx range and the battery life. I'm only getting about two minutes before I get a low battery warning. I have new GNB lipos and my betaflight battery setting are normal. I see people getting 6 to 8 minutes. I have not had anymore time to mess around with it. Thanks

my propellers are well placed I think, but my engines are reversing and even if I reversed them they are still going the same way. what to do, help me???

I would look at 7 min into the video and look at the diagram top left that shows direction the motors should be spinning. The motor direction should not be set to reversed. Also look at 1:21 into the video for the correct prop placement for clockwise spinning props and counter clockwise spinning props.

Here is a tutorial from Oscar Liang on Jazz Maverick followed by a link to the Jazz Maverick configurator. You need to select O_H_5 and I would just go with 16.8 48KHz version.

16:33 rxloss ? 🤔

[@slogfpv5679]

Hello Lunatic FPV, the failsafe occurred 50 ft from where I was standing. The Nano Baby fell from the sky and went boom (no damage) 😆. I left it in on purpose to show flight time but did not mention it because it was not the Nano Baby's fault. It was the crappy HappyModel Molded JR Bay Mounting Case. It does not snap in very solid into my Radiomaster JR bay (I have a BetaFPV coming although not sure that will be better). Point being ELRS is new, the protocol is great but we have HappyModel and BetaFPV leading the charge (not know for great QC). So I do think ELRS will replace FRSKY D8 (way better range) and is good for $~120 whoops and nanos (lower cost than TBS crossfire). I would not use it on an expensive quad period, due to the HW being immature and the players involved. Here is my order of control links that I have: TBS Crossfire, TBS Tracer, ELRS, last place FRSKY D8. Cheers, Slog

Thanks for the video. It was very informative and enlightening. I just purchased the 1.2 version and look forward to giving it a try. Something that I’ve been toying with as I wait while it arrive and that is prop guards for flying indoors. Have you considered designing a set of guards or know of someone who has? If not, would you be so kind as to post some dimensions of the bottom plate that would aid in designing a set? Thanks.

[@slogfpv5679]

Hi Sam, I looked on Thingiverse and did not see anything. If you really want prop guards, the easiest path would be to cut the ducts off a HappyModel Mobula 7 frame. Looks like the motor mount holes are the same. Also, it appears there is enough clearance between the front and back props for the ducts. If not, you can always trim parts off the duct since you are only looking at it as a guard and not a duct. Not to discourage you, guards on a Nano Quad will impact flight performance. I hope this helps. www.racedayquads.com/collections/mobula7-whoop-spare-parts-by-happymodel/products/mobula7-bwhoop75-75mm-brushless-tiny-whoop-frame-kit-by-happymodel SLOG

This little nano quad is an absolute nightmare. I have owned it now four months and still can't even get it to connect to my laptop through betaflight or anything. I come from a background where I can 3D print a drone get a flight controller wired it all up and get it to work but I buy this quad here and can't even get it to connect probably going to switch out the flight controller or something or just totally throwing it in the trash

[@slogfpv5679]

Hi Bersbug, sorry you are having issues. Sounds like you are a more experienced pilot but simple things you might try if you have not done so before is: - Swap out your USB cable. I have noticed some FCs are more sensitive to a bad cable (eg shielding issues or too long). -Try a different USB port or different laptop. -Run Driver Fixer from impulseRC. Link below if you are running Windows ImpulseRC Driver Fixer impulserc.com/pages/downloads -Double check that you can connect to a different quad if you have one. -Try pushing the boot switch and get the FC into the boot loader (DFU) and then re-flashing the FC FW. If you have already done the above, which I am sure you have, I would contact the retailer or Flywoo documenting that you have a bad flight controller and the steps you have taken. At a min you might get a new FC out of it. SLOG
