“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...
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...
Repeat for the black wire. When finished, remove the JST connector from the socket. Remember, EL wire runs on AC power. It’s important to mention that the AC power coming from the inverter is not enough to hurt or kill you. However, it is enough to give you a good shock so it ...
It took me a while to think in declarative programming... it works... but I'm still not sure if I like it more compared to the traditional way. At the end, I've implemented some global helper functions in C++ (used via include) to be able to reduce the size of the yaml 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...
I like to remove the power connector on my JST wire, just keeps it a bit cleaner and means its less likely I’ll make a mistake. I also like to use a 40 pin header so I can detach it if necessary, but you can also just solder directly to the Pi as well. Here you can see ...

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 ...
TheCaddx Vista Air Uniteven supports higher voltage up to 6S, and therefore you might get away with powering the Air Unit directly from 4S LiPo Battery. But if you want to play safe, use a voltage regulator or BEC on the FC. With the Vista however, there is no JST connector, you hav...
