Solder pads on fc goneburgers

[mozquito1]

12w crank it up..
If there is no Solder on the tip. Don't Solder, put some on. 60/40 rosin core.
It is needed for the heat transfer to be quick. The idea is to heat the immediate area ASAP & get out. Rather than heat the whole board up & lose pads because you may be doing to many at once which turns the copper brittle. I'm never in any rush either I did have an old fan out of a pc to cool things down but it's dead.

Great, yes I just bought a nice fine tipped, 12w iron with variable temp control. Any recommendations on temp I should try?
So I should put my rx wire on the through-hole and enter a CLI command on Betaflight? Any info on the commands I need?
Still very new to this...
Yup, big motors for a tiny setup, keen to see how it goes before I try and jam it in something else.
Thanks again

Don't have any temp input.
You don't need CLI. The ports tab on the left and assign Serial Rx to UART.

Ah yes, thanks. I remember now when I did get the Rx connected and hooked to Betaflight that there appeared to be 2 or 3 UARTs available. I'll have a play.

Can I jump to another part?

I don't think so that jumper will do

Try to practice soldering first before soldering any small board those electronic components were too small it has a high risk of short circuit when not soldered properly.

Still gonna have problems, that spare doesn't give 5v out. supplying cam, vtx, rx will be a problem. Led is only 3.3v. If it has one. You would need a buck. What pad is it that is left on its own. Probably a ground. Handy if it was 5v. If it's an AIO vtx/cam you may get it going with the rx.
With a chance of blackouts.
The only other option is split off the 5v from the esc that's supplying the FC.

Well there's no sense of soldering it.

It would work for a line of sight quad with just an rx. Or a bigger build with a pdb it should be fine as it is, its a lame duck for a small micro.

 

[Jake Jhonson]

What about finding another new circuit board that will supply all the components in its exact consumables?

Betaflight 3.4.0 F4 osd micro 20x20
Are decent boards can run all the gear with no need for pdb if using a VTX03.
Or any 5v vtx. & depending if your esc can take 4S so can it. I don't rate the piko.
Next micro I buy will be a matek F411 mini. I just got an F411-WING & layout is good. Its been ready to maiden but weather not permitting till today.
I changed a mode or 2 & forgot I put nav launch on again. But when I went out at 5am I was trying to throttle up & nothing doing. Which was my original problem but new to inav. With nav launch you arm as normal then move the throttle stick to a range you want then throw the wing & hope for the best. The throttle then kicks in & levels itself out. So by the time I got home & got it on the pc then realised,
it was time for work. So try again tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
UK maximum height is being changed to
1ft for single engine models & fpv.
