Re: Naze32 hardware discussion thread

6 V afros will fry the Naze32 pretty quick. I have also had problems connecting USB to the Naze and then connecting and disconnecting power whilst the TeamKVOSD is connected up. I disconnect power from the minimOSD now before i mess around with USB and stuff.

Cheaper more flexible props will produce more vibrations that will negatively effect sensors on your flight controller. Dialing back the P value on pitch and roll will help compensate but the multirotor wont fly as well.

The HQ props are much better than the gemfans in my experience.
