Zolly, you are an incredible asset to not only the DJI mini modding scene but also to microcontroller hobbyists too! Your videos are creative, entertaining, and of course exceptionally informative for so many. Thank you so much for the time you put into these epic tutorials and I wish you nothing but the best on this platform and future projects. I would subscribe to you a million times if I could!
Zolly, there you go again. you must have been reading my dreams lol. this is another idea i was wondering how to do. thanks again. i will be checking out all your other videos for sure.
Such a great video as are all your videos. I really appreciate how there are no permanent mods to the drone. Very informative and creative mods. All the best to you.
Excellent work man! One thing I've been thinking about/wanting since I got my Mini 2 was some kind of 'spot light'. I just think it would fun to fly at night while being able to light up the ground from a decent distance.
@@ZollyD I have an Air 2s now, so I have more payload capacity to experiment with. My idea is to use a (possibly 2) compact high power flashlight. I've found many options that would work, but now I need to come up with some sort of remote power switch 🤔
😅 in theory, yes. When you take it apart you will see, that it is not that simple. The cables going to the LED is not just simple PWM signal per color. It is 1 data pin only. Quite high frequency and the decoding happens at the LED. Pins are not acessible. I would have loved to do what you suggested, but it is not as simple... Let us know if you managed to access it somehow anyways.
Hi, I have binged watched all your videos this morning! Are you using the power from the battery to power the lights on this project and if so how are you taking the power from the battery to the PCB? Thanks, amazing projects!
That rgb sensor is such a smart trick. Just for fun of course but I think you can set the world dji mini 2 range record using that trick: fly with two or three batteries. Select the active one automatically one by one using the arduino or other uc and litterly drop the empty ones. (Using the rgb led to control that doing safely)
Hej Man! It is sooooo crazy that you just described my exact plan! 😁😁 Exactly what I was thinking in every detail. Every detail. It is spooky. We really think the same way... :) I think 2 sets of cells will be enough to carry... ;)
You make some great videos! The arduino gets its power directly from the battery, right? Have you ever thought of using the drone's internal power supply? So the arduino would turn on and off directly with the drone :)
Unfortunately the color decoding happens in the led itself. The pins are not accessible. I took it out, and that thing is absolutely crazy small. There is one signal pin with all the data. 6 bytes of color data in every 20 ms, but the encoding makes it tricky to read for me. For my method you do not need to disassemble the drone. ;)
really great to see your videos. I have a air 2s. you did a mode for auto pilot. this video gave me an idea. since the joysticks are only Potentiometers, is there a way implement a button what just simply give me a higher resolution. im thinking about to lower the speed regardless of cine/sport or normal mode. I want to fly very close to some objects and cine is still to fast. Speed mode can stabilize the drone better for higher wind speeds. So speed mode for a stable drone but when i control the speed i have only 10% max speed. im working in the wind industry and I want to inspect our rotor blades. I think that I can convince my boss that a drone is better then our giant telescope what we use for inspecting our turbines. The coolest way i can imagine to control the speed would be to have one tunable poti at my remote to control the max speed for straving/ up/down. the yaw of the dji drone is already slow enough. hope my explanation makes somehow sense to you. it would be great if there where no cables coming out if the controller :) PS greetings from Taiwan keep going, is defently great content.
Thanks! :) That is totally an option, that is exactly what I mean when I say extra smooth cinematic mode. :) The cables coming out is yeah... 😅 But maybe it could be squeezed in the remote - though not much space in there....

It is very possible to make! :)

Very cool! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks! :) And you are welcome!
Impressive mod. Thumbs up 👍 👍 👍 from the Philippines.
Thanks! :)
Oh boy here it iss!!!!!!!
As advertised....😀😀
You sir are AWESOME! I love your hacks and all you show us! Thank you so much !
Thanks for the support.
Great, what a good job. Thanks a lot.
Best regards

Danke sehr! :)
Reading the values from led connections ehich is inside the drone will be much clean and easier i believe

@@ZollyD haha that's spooky yes :p But will be so much fun I think haha
Thanks for sharing love your hacks.

Could be done. I have not gone that route as I anyways needed a higher drain source for the LEDs.😊
Its not easiest way read values directly front rgb led pins?

Hi అన్నయ్యా🥰... బాగున్నావా...?
Thanks! :) yes

@@ZollyD ajo ...now i saw it at the end of your video :)
@@eastevanger_tw1173 cool. So yes only the mapping of the joystick has to be changed for that. Put in a divider of 5 or even 10...😉
