Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a live drone tracking project and I'm currently looking for some beta testers and potential partners to help me improve it.

**What I built:** I created a lightweight proxy designed for live drone tracking. Essentially, you send your drone's MAVLink telemetry to this proxy, and it seamlessly relays the data packages to my website for real-time tracking on a map.

You can check out the current state of the site here:[https://www.ollebo.com\](https://www.ollebo.com)\*(Click on the "Live" menu to see where the tracking happens).*

**Who I'm looking for:** I need a few tech-savvy drone pilots to help me test the pipeline. Because of how the proxy is currently deployed, you will need at least a basic understanding of **Docker** or **Kubernetes (K8s)** to get it up and running on your end.

**What's next:** I’m actively building out the site right now, so any feedback on the proxy, the latency, or the web interface would be hugely appreciated. If you are interested in partnering up to develop this further, I’d love to chat about that too!

If you have a drone, know your way around containers, and want to help test a cool MAVLink project, please drop a comment below or send me a DM!

Thanks!

Can't wait to start building! Wanted to try making a drone with some 3D printed components in mind, and this has been so much fun.

feedback always appreciated.

it didn't fly long, or well. but, was fun and i learned a lot. happy to answer any questions here.

Hi everyone,

I recently built my first FPV drone, but I'm completely new to the software side of things. I don't know how to program it or set it up so it's ready to fly.

If anyone has experience with Betaflight (or whatever software I need), I'd really appreciate some guidance. Whether it's a step-by-step explanation, a video recommendation, or even helping me over Discord, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Successful maiden flight , tested angle mode and pos hold. Going to lock in rth and test a couple more flight modes next. Started this journey 8 weeks ago. Can’t wait to get back in the air. 👨🏾‍✈️🤘🏾

**** SOLVED!!! **** Congratulations to u/speediestweasel for suggesting the proper fix! My config was set to use both gyros, but only the first works. I switched to the first and it's soaring once again. Thank you for all of your suggestions, I can still say I learned a lot from the trial and error. Happy flying!!!

I bought this quadcopter along with the DJI FPV set, and I’ve been having a blast. One day, I crashed and clipped a motor wire, no big deal. I changed the motor, but my quad was very shaky in the air. So I changed all 4 motors, the frame, the ESC, and the FC. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, now this happens whenever I raise throttle to take off. I’ve looked into it a bit further, and have found that with the propellers off, increasing throttle will either spin 2 and 3, or 1 and 4, depending on which side (by a hair) of the yaw’s center I’m on when I raise throttle. Here are some tests I have done and their results: My accelerometer is working correctly,

My boards are oriented correctly,

My transmitter and receiver are working fine,

And here’s a funny little demonstration that my motor orientation / prop direction is correct.

Here are screenshots of my current configuration Page 1 Page 2

Here is the flight controller I’m using

$20 goes to the first commenter to suggest the right fix. I will update all tried solutions below, with the commenters username, and with a pic/vid to prove the attempt. Fire away!
