Analog is commonly used in fpv drones. Mostly due to low cost, low latency and when the signal starts to degrades you get those artifacts, instead of a blackout or higher latency. You need quick and precise control with those drones, so video quality is often a lower priority.

So… they look analog cause they are analog.

Which is the part I don’t really understand. Aren’t these batteries pretty much all watercooled? Maybe the control electronics got wet causing it to keep the battery on in a flooded condition and thus draining them completely? Maybe just the moisture senser tripped, causing them to say, yeah, water damage, gotta replace it?

Oh yeah I fixed that issue already. Got a different card for it that uses a controllerchip. Its working great, without bifurcation requirement.

Wierd, but thanks for the info. The card i’ve used before pretty much only has 2 slots and a few random components on it l, like capacitors and such. So I assumed it was never needed. My motherboard didn’t support bifurcation, so I never got that to work though, so maybe it couldn’t work at all… only found that out after installing it.

I’m confused. Why do those cards have a heatsink? I needed a card like that because my motherboard did not support bifurcation. So had to use a splitting card. The cards I know that require bifurcation do not even need a controller or heatsink. They are just wired pretty much directly to the pci-e bus.
