DIY Attiny45/85 Programming Shield

It is just something i made up to make my life easier and to sharpen my soldering skills.
Arduino is totally new to me after a friend sharing his rc plane navigation lights project. It is just interest me to give it a try. Since then i keep trying to learn something new out of it.
This thing really makes me thinking 'Why the hell i didn't pay attention to my electronics classes before?'. It is actually interesting to be able to build something electronicky.

LED Navigation Light with ATtiny45/85

Since a friend introduce me to arduino, i has been my dream to build myself a navigation lights customize to my liking.
He who played with arduino longer than me have come out with an on board navigation lights complete with strobe lights, beacon and even capabilities to switch your lights on and off using your remote control.
I think i am far from that, but i have build myself a simple navigation lights with strobe and beacon and i'm using ATtiny45 for its small size.

DIY 5v Regulator from old ESC

Hi guys. Just wanna share my latest discoveries. It is actually common thing within electronics gurus out there, but i am a newbie in this so this is something i am really excited with.
As for us who has been long involved with RC hobby, i believe we have quite a collection of burned out ESCs laying around somewhere in our home.
Now we can use it to power something else.

FPV RC Rover Using Smartphones

I initially built a servo driven RC rover for my son to play with and because i found it to be something i have to try for myself. Who would guess the rover just been driven by two normal 9g servos. Thanks to rctestflight.
I just take it a little bit further by testing it for a ground FPV platform. Inspired by a friend who uses two smartphones as an FPV gear for his quadcopter, i dig out my old Galaxy Ace.

How To - Servo 360 Mod

I get a lot of question as to how i did the servo mod for my rc rover. That is involving modifying a normal 9g servo to be able to turn freely on both direction.
I got the tips from a youtube channel rctestflight which happens to be the same person i got the idea to build the rc rover. The build is really cool (you can ask my son) and the modification needed is simple. Anyone with a spare servo and couple of old broken one could easily make it.

Simple DIY 5V BEC

I'm looking for a way to power my servo tester with my LiPo without using an ESC which i used to do. I don't have a BEC laying around, and i'm too cheap to buy one just to power a servo tester. Then i remember a friend of mine building his own BEC from a minimal amount of component to power his sailboat with a LiPo battery.
I start looking for parts in my workshop to make myself a DIY BEC and lucky me i have some laying around in my electronics box. A couple of hours later after some datasheet reading, schematic figuring, component placing and soldering, i got myself one simple homemade BEC.

How To - Diy Hinges

Hinges is a must in making your control surfaces working properly. There are many ways of making a hinges on a scratchbuild model aircraft. It is depend on the build material you are using for your build and how strong you want your hinges to hold.
For a basic scratchbuild using compress foam/ foam board, the easiest way is to make a tape hinge. Here i'm going to show you the basic of making a tape hinge for your model aircraft.

Glojet - Boxermad84 Alphajet

Its originated from Boxermad84 as Bi-jet later on called AlphaJet as it is much cooler to fly it in high alpha maneuver. But we @ Ampang Night Flying called it Glojet. It glows, it do high alphas and its sound makes the neighbors dog barking all night long. With the simplicity of build without using any spars to reinforce the wing, its brilliant design and maneuverability made us want to build one. Right after our fellow flyer Shah showed us the video of its flying. Took us couple of hours with the plan and deprons. A couple of hours more to finish building it.
