cicada mini hex


Kit has almost everything except receiver.
Made for included cc3d

Integrated PC power distribution 

Bullet connectors for motors not included


Nice little deck hides the ugly wires


Nice escs  but without bec.  OK  cause they included a separate one 


Include wide angle camera is smaller than the frame is designed for.   So I built a cardboard frame. 

And there she is. 



Turns out the new camera they are shipping from FoxTech is 5V.  The transmitter needs at least 7.  Remember no BECs on the ESCs?  And only one stand alone BEC?  Yep.... Cooked off the camera.  Replaced it with a Sony.  Actually the one that lost it's lens in the infamous StoneGate Y6 fiasco.

Dawn Robotics Raspberry Pi Camera Minibot

Hands down best out of box experience. I bought it with the preloaded sd card, and as soon as it was assembled, it was ready to go.  Built in wifi webserver. Everything loads automatically.  You never need a keyboard or display.
