HK Quad Copter X

I received my quad copter/multi rotor kits two weeks earlier but stalling my time to built it until recently i finally got time to built it because all those PITA (Pain In The @ss) work to reprogram, resoldring, firmware flasing and all those electronic engineering skill stuff to ensure perfection and zero faulty flight.   The quad copter size is mini 450mm in length run on 2800KV mini brushless motor, HK/KK multi controller board V2, HK SS 18-25A ESC, GWS style 6x3 standard + counter propellers and TURNIGY 2.4Ghz 9x v2 receiver.  I manually loaded Kapteinkuk's latest quad-x configuration firmware into the controller board via AVR programming and also reflash the firmware on ESC to increase the PWM response rate.  Took 3 days to build it to perfection. On first maiden flight it was total failure due to ESC cutt-off,  after dozen of failed flight i realized due to its weight it needs to have at least 3 cell with 35-50C burst lipo battery.  After using the following battery it maindened perfectly, smooth and excellent under heavy wind without further tuning the 3 axis gyro and PID rate.  Several cycle of flights i was so hooked up!  This thing fly like a dream, could hover on tight spots, fly like and aeroplane, hover like helis and have sharp manouver and 3D flight.  However the sounds was unbearable as if it sounds like swarms of bees going coming from afar getting at you.  Originally i was thinking putting FPV on this flying platform for public park fly exploration but due to its scary loud bizzare buzzing sounds i think it will freak people up around the park.  Someday i will bring it up for forest trail exploration on FPV to look out for mountain biking trails or get a good photo shot angle carrying CANON CYBERSHOT camera soon.  This would be a cool flying cam tool.

Cool!! Windows XP for Playstation Portable.


I've stumble upon cool file for PSP as i was looking for easy and quick mods for my PSP, its "PSP Wxp" or better known as Playstation Portable Windows XP. Installation was fairly simple, Windows XP interface accessible via internet browser and all GUI and application accessible very similarly to Windows XP basic application which almost looks like PDA, eg, basic calculator, notepad, games, setup panel just like a protable Windows Mobile PDA interface. Its cool to have this software for PSP as eye candy and its safe. The file is very small and will not harm any internal firmware or software structure in your PSP. I give it a 4 thumbs up for those people who want to have Windows XP like portable PC.
Below some info about PSP Windows XP from the software author:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PspWxp stands for PlayStation Portable Windows XP (based off of winpsportal) and allows you to use Windows XP on your Playstation Portable. Well, really it is just a set of Webpages that look similar to Windows XP, but they are offline. It has some useful features lots of games and applications. You do not need to access the Internet for most of pspWxp, only to access the links and use the Web browser.
As it is only 1.5 Megabytes in size, it will fit on any memory card. pspWxp will not harm your PSP. Version 1.02 does not show previous app/game on starting a new app/game, fixed music menu button, five card stud poker slightly changed and bug fixes.

Limited edition Pink PSP!

Here i am fixing my friend PSP, its in pink..not ordinary until you open up the menu and you can see there an extra feature: "1 SEG TV!" A digital TV option where you can add add-on hardware on top to enable 1SEG TV option. To bad only few country like Japan and Europe have those Digital broadcasting channel available. Anyways here i am fixing up this semi 'bricked' PSP. I ended up slept at 2.00pm without any success reviving it even with PANDORA BATTERY pre-installed. The original user flashed firmware up to fw 3.99 M33 without install the base firmware first. Since i don't have enought resources to fix it so i recommend them to send to authorised game shop to get it fix. I had enough headache for today.
