Omnibus F4 AIO solder points

Launchpad

Well-Known Member
This is my first experience with the style of board that has the flight controller soldered to the PDB. I noticed the inconsistent soldering at those locations when I was checking it out. The one I got has some points that look like they were even missed when the solder was printed on, as there is no welling where they meet.
My ? is, is it a good idea to go and add some solder, or is it insignificant?

Don't solder anything till you know if it works or not. And then only if you are confident. Too much heat, caps and stuff may start to slide about.
If it's defective, send it back is the best option.. The small copper traces tend to dry out and crack or lift easy. So if its not a big main pad intended for the user then be careful.
