S.Bus Bug

Some old footage from 2015 at Hawaii. Dreaded S.Bus bug

[@SiggyNowak]

Welcome back Chad. Can't believe this long range was shot in 2015. Amazing.

[@igorponsildayly59]

So many videos featuring long range today. This is 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. OBTW - welcome back.

[@SuperDizzydi]

Great to see your vids comming back 🤘🤙😎👍

[@mk_quattro]

Maybe stupid question but how do you know that its caused by SBus bug?

[@RockTouching]

Can you explain more about this problem?

[@fpfree8821]

Happppyyyy!! Seeing your videos again is like seeing an old friend you lost contact with. Thankyou for sharing them again. Even after all these years your flying style is still my favourite, I'd be perfectly content even watching b roll all day long. Hope you're goin ok, cheers

[@lawsonfpv2613]

Glad to see you posting videos again

[@blackmennewstyle]

Damn, my heart almost went out of my chest when i saw that water getting closer and closer! Something tells me that you were probably testing some new protocol over there :p At least you will have a lot of things to report! Have a great week and happy flying :)

[@spacecowboyfpv5511]

Holy crap! What a ride. Glad she got found. Thanks for the upload!

[@JhnBravo84]

Glad to see your videos again👍

[@smokeoutfpv4132]

Brilliant to see new vids mate!

[@rajgunaseelan44]

Relating to your last live session, this video artistically says the story of a free flying drone experiencing a small glitch and then being saved, right on the edge. Wish you all the happiness going forward Chad😊

[@steady747]

cool video. its great to see you fly again

[@Politicallyhomeless957]

A three hour tour 🎶.... lol that was cool 😎 thx for sharing. Look 👀 like FPV paradise

[@jackdaniels7913]

It's just nice to see you back in the air if only for a few fleeting minutes 😅

[@hateeternalmaver]

Oh boy -.- Lucky you did pick a good spot to come down. I first thought you were gonna have to climb up that mountain... xD Cool spot man!

[@smerkkwads3235]

Damn that sucks! Glad you where able to get it back and not land in water. 👍

[@Pile_of_carbon]

I literally yelled "Nooo fuckshitfuckfuckshit!" at my monitor when your quad dropped out of the sky and I saw the water getting closer.

[@MIKEYDREADFPV]

Nearly in the soup, strange situation ,happy to see you bro😀👍

[@mohamedmetwally1436]

I can accept living in this place with every software bug in the world 😯😁

[@ZylonFPV]

Ouch, that was a hell of an impact

[@josephboehlke6368]

I saw the water get closer and probably screamed oh crap in my head!

[@dandara87]

Good to see you flying

[@rjohndraws]

On the bright said . that was a good and healthy walk you went on to retrieve it

[@rmdcade1717]

I was convinced you were going in the drink. Pucker moment for sure.

[@Elias-Flyingbros]

Dam lucky didn't land in water

[@SlipperyFPV]

Exactly what I was thinking! My quads all have a natural affinity for water! :D

[@tizzle420187]

A FG post.. today is going to be a good day!

[@dazzlekernow1408]

Out of all the places that could of landed, that's not bad. Pesky gremlins suck. Nice to see you back pal!

[@DavidOwensuk]

Very cool location...

[@itchwaka]

sbus bug was a code name of hawaiian antydrone system

[@raizorfpv1481]

holy snappnig duck poo mate! hows the quad holding up lol? that was a heavy impact, great to see you back in the air and making vids mate :)

[@maxiemusfpv198]

Also my heart just dropped when I saw it fail safe good thing it didn’t land in the water

[@KittFPV]

daaaaaaaaaaang I hated the few times I had that happen. So scary, and I wasn't on the side of a mountain next to the ocean either!

[@nothingnew69]

Lucky you...awesome af.

[@kashifpooser8747]

Ouch!

[@GosHawkFPV]

My worst fear come true hehe I was flying over cliffs and oceans a few weeks ago and if that happened to me.... :S So lucky you were over land!

[@Robnoxious77]

thats not a bug, thats faaaaarked! lol

[@skins6007]

What did you break on impact? I cringed at that well known sound of hitting earth...hard. Awesome view

[@xtkfpv5306]

That feaked me out I thought you were doing an inverted yaw spin on purpose, I am thinking, he better start thinking about pulling out soon. Dammmmm You are lucky that 1. you didn't failsafe over the water. 2. that you found your quad in that jungle.

So they can say that it is not a sport ... like and hope that you could recover from that place. A greeting.

[@MPQuads237]

Ups, that's sad. Hope you will find it.

[@AndieBlackhats]

Of course he found it. Hence this video haha..

[@___echo___]

in the description it also says it's old footage

[@hetlarfje]

Lol. What a stupid comment. If he hasnt found it we werent watching this video.

[@SamuliLouko]

Nice views, what is the location where you filmed this..? Crash was a bummer, but lucky it didn't end up in the sea(or lake) :)

[@thomascee]

Hooooly cow!!! How did you ever find it??? (Maybe it's on your next video, going to watch that now)

[@bullproductions]

Judging buy the video he uploaded, Id say he found it :)

[@thomascee]

Oh yeah I got ya there, It just looks like it could have taken forever to find!

[@SlipperyFPV]

That could have been either a really long walk or possibly a swim! :) Still looked far enough though.

[@lebbixfpv5633]

wow, that sucks, is this before or after you switched to KISS FC or is it just a bug in the S.Bus protocol?, some people who switched over to the old S.Bus protocol experienced major improvements.

[@SoaringExperience]

How is this comment 2 years old, but the video is brandnew?

[@fatal510]

Because it is a very old video that was unlisted, but now made public.

[@seattleitefpv]

What SBus bug? I have been flying SBus on Futaba hardware since 2013 and haven't heard of this bug.

[@mistercohaagen]

Oh... well that explains it. CRSFU then, I guess. Iunno. Skeptrum. Futablah... or maybe just a firmware update and antenna tests.

[@sonanddad8985]

always wear life vest when flying over water ;-)

[@jamesellis5445]

SonAndDad wear "FLOATIES"✌

[@simonwallace699]

Struth that was lucky

[@j.finesseflights1403]

NOOOOOO!!!

[@jonnylundell6069]

Why did you land so far away?

[@drewschultzfpv1454]

O shit... I hate long walks to crash sites... had similar crash and bugs thought it was my flight controller so I swap it ended up being the speedos.. after two year of ripping :-

[@IDigitalCrash]

It doesn't look like a S.Bus bug. Motors don't stop. Maybe something happened with power supply?

[@HomeGrownCanadianFPV]

😔

[@mixblast1]

But can you see spektrum's house from up there??

[@blacksmokefpv6236]

Sbus is still a thing?

[@maxiemusfpv198]

Is it true that Chad Nowak will reply if you comment within an hour of uploading?

[@mistercohaagen]

guess not

[@pitotoy07]

Did u find ur drone?

[@mihdd]

yes, else no video.

[@pitotoy07]

I thought final glide was the one flying

[@MrTimmyGT]

pitotoy07 if he didn't find it, how would he have the video.....thats what @mihdd meant.....

[@pitotoy07]

So who was flying

[@DidgIvo]

That is scary

[@ibeedroning452]

S.Bus or did you mean F.Port

[@TheLightningStalker]

Or DShot or smart audio or camera control or kalman filter or something else that didn't exist in 2015 lel

[@Aridrona]

Lucky it landed on land

[@Tiber_FPV]

why s-bus bug ??

[@EdenValleyAdventuresUK]

WOW that was not good, I know that was a time ago but sorry you crashed.

[@zerogfpv4064]

😨😨😨😨

[@glenby2u]

taranis? chile vuela found similar symptom was m9 gimball fault.

[@mistercohaagen]

yep... this is why bridge dives are iffy regardless of how pretty and expensive your chinese bullshit is. so many single points of failure.

[@glenby2u]

vs what? I havent used my taranis in months. use a jumper instead. now that is cheap. guys I fly with have spektrums doing similar things. so I guess anything can have an issue.

[@mistercohaagen]

That's my point... Brands don't matter... The nature of things like non-redundant potentiometers, no backup controller MCU's, redundant power systems, single-wire serial streams going from MCU that scrapes gimbals and switches to the MCU that handles RF transmission, no redundant radio telemetry link, no redundant FC's, flight batteries, RX's, dual GPS and OA, etc. If you follow the chain of how ground sensors are wired, and the entire path of that control information from the ground to the air, and even from aircraft sensors to FC to ESC's... one break in any one line and bad things will happen. Plus vibration, condensation, emi, etc... It's honestly impressive that they work at all, but bets should always be hedged... to think you don't need to is nothing but cocky. i used to build modular synths... i can't help but see the entire signal chain every time i fly.

[@blancsteve4819]

Beautiful country you live in mate. Not very musical though ... ( Or is the copyright law cramping your creativity !

[@pabz06]

Crossfire ;)

[@mistercohaagen]

not sure if he approves of it (might be still mad at teh ethix ppl). plus that location... in the air line of site, prolly had RSSI to look at or hear. should've been okay.

[@AdaptFPV]

I don't think crossfire existed at the time of filming

[@mistercohaagen]

yeah... i had no idea he was playing peekaboo with his videos. that's against good practices.

[@lukagroot7409]

mistercohaagen why is he angry at them?

[@smokeoutfpv4132]

Ouch!
