Wizard X220HV Upgrades

thingiverse

I decided to upload some parts I made to upgrade my Wizard X220HV drone. I found several problems I didn't like with the original product: 1) I didn't like the tail piece it came with. I made several new styles that make mounting VTX antenna better, I use coffee stirrers for my RX antennas and I also was able to put a MATEK H-style tail light and buzzer on the quad. 2) The VTX gets super HOT being right underneath the battery. It gets no airflow at all and the velcro is smashed around it too and there is interference happening. I decided to relocate the VTX underneath the quad and make some little air ducts to bring prop wash down to cool it. Much much cooler now. Also, the bottom carbon fiber plate acts as a RF shield as it is conductive. Relocating this made enough space for a FrSky X4RSB RX which I am using the extra PWM channels to control a video switcher, front servo to control camera TILT angle and also PWM to the H-tail. I was also able to fit in a LED controller. The reason I want custom camera tilt is because I am not using this drone as a racer. I am using it with a foxeer camera and also a FLIR camera (not pictured maybe I will upload the mount for the Tau2 core later). 3) The front servo mount has two pieces and requires a little bit of metal connecting rod to hook it up. Works well. 4) I decided to put a GPS on the drone and removed the Bluetooth module to get the extra serial port needed to do so. I built a little strap mount to allow me to connect the GPS to the battery strap. I am not using magnetometer, as there is no I2C ports on the Wizard FC. (sux!!!) I also have an Eachine E100D FPV google that comes with a very awkward DVR part. I made a special little box mount for it that I connect to the side with some zip ties. Lets me start/stop video recording, attach battery from FPV battery and route the video cable to the side nicely. Will upload a pic later.
