“DuPont connector” is avernacular termwhich refers to a number of different types of 0.1″ pitch connector. They feature black plastic housings which retain contacts with fingers built into the housing body. All are very similar in appearance but vary significantly in quality and price. There a...
Instead of connecting the battery holder in the kit, we're going to solder a JST connector to the MintyBoost PCB. This tiny connector will then allow the MintyBoost circuit to connect to the Lithium Polymer battery charger circuit. Make sure you get the polarity correct! Test the MintyBoost...
your goggles might stop working and shows a message on the screen “Image transmission stopped”. This could be due to the Japan firmware restriction. To work around this, I’ve been told you could tryperforming FCC hack on the Air Unit, after you bind it to the goggles, then ...
These pads are used to power external devices. VBAT is the direct voltage from the LiPo battery, while all other voltages are known as BEC (Battery Eliminating Circuit). Almost all FCs have VBAT, 3.3V, and 5V pads; some larger FCs offer other voltages such as 9V and 12V to power video...
I left the original BionX charging circuitry and 4-pin XLR connector intact so I could use the original charger if my balance charger idea didn't work out, but I'm happy to report that the new charger was so successful I no longer use the old one. I can still, however, use it as...
If you have water-soluble flux residue on the board, you will want to remove it from the board. No clean flux, you should not need to remove it. The simplest way to clean water soluble-flux from the board is to use a small brush with stiff bristles (toothbrushes work great) or a ...
If you are using your own radio receiver, make sure to remove the DJI HDL and GND wires from the cable like so. Now connect the O3 AU to your computer via USB-C (no need to power the quad), open “DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series)“, and activate it, and also upgrade firm...
Step 4: Remove Excess Components These two components are in the kits: a JST connector and extra header pins. We don't need these. Pull these out of the kits and put them aside. I use these for other projects in the Electronics Lab, so ours weren't wasted. ...
Pro Tip:How to remove header pins on a FC. Pro Tip: With solder pads, did you know that it’s possible tofix them if they peel off? BEC BEC (battery eliminator circuit) is just what we call voltage regulators on a flight controller. ...
