Meteor 65/75 issue

I have a Meteor 65 and 75 with SPI ELRS. This happened to both within a couple of months, wondering if anyone knows what is going on?

  • I was flying around normally having fun
  • I stopped to change batteries
  • Put the new battery in and it only does the first 3 beeps
  • There is no signal on the goggles
  • Plug the flight controller into Betaflight and the VTX (I think) starts smoking

The first time this happened, I cleaned everything up and it started working again but with very poor VTX signal. So I replaced the VTX and shortly after the accelerometer or gyro went out forcing me to replace the flight controller.

Now this just happened again on a different Meteor and before I go through the same steps as last time I'm wondering if anyone has some advice. Thanks.

Fediverse FPV Community

I've been thinking for a long time about how a functioning FPV community could be created in Fediverse. What would be the right platform for you? How do you get people to overcome the registration hurdle and what is the best way to explain how Fediverse works? I would like to collect a few thoughts here.

I'm really hard thinking about if I should quit the hobby in the long run. Not because it's no fun. but: a) it got regulated to hell (places where I can fly legally are really rare now) b) my hardware is somewhat out of date I'd have to switch from #frsky and analog video to something new at some point in the future. That's like "replace ALL my gear" expensive. :-( #FPV #Quadcopter #Drones

#latency seems to be even higher than with DJI/Walksnail/HDZero

So that's clearly not ready. But still, I'd really like to have some open standard! Some good alternative to analoge NTSC/PAL-Video at last?
