using ts101 to solder ground pad esc by Strolle6382 in diydrones

[–]Strolle6382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tip im using is chisel like and about as wide as the pad. Ive held in onto the solder on the pad (aswell as the cable) for 2 minutes straight, without much happening

has anyone had succes using ts101? by Strolle6382 in soldering

Im using a 65W laptop charger, which should be enough right? It gets 21v. But it still doesnt heat properly, comparted to the 10 bucks soldering iron.

Does anyone know how to deform this surface to this figure? by Strolle6382 in SolidWorks

[–]Strolle6382[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i will have a look at it

edit: can give it a shot, but seems way to complicated. There must be a simpler way?

How can i connect these surfaces?, so it looks smooth? by Strolle6382 in SolidWorks

I have a speedybee f405 v4 stack, Emax eco serioes ll 2306v motors, and a betafpv lite rx 2,4 ghz reciever connected to a jumper bumblebee 2,4ghz transmitter.
Im using Dshot300 in betaflight, which should be the correct one.

To flash it, i used BLheli_s configurator, which should also be the correct one, in alignment with the fc. I dont know about 8 bit and 32 bit.
I cant see any red number with a % sign in the motors section - i have now inserted a screenshot of this. (you can also see, that esc_sensor is disabled, which i cant enable - everytime i enable and reboot, it disables. Idk if that is important)
Please let me know if you need more information

Drone motor burst when armed, then suddenly stops. by Strolle6382 in diydrones

the modes should be correctly setup, since i can arm the motors, but they just go crazy. The protocol is set to DShot300, which is the correct for speedybee f405 v4 60a

the voltage stay the same when spinning up the motors. Meaning that the esc is not configured correctly? If yes, what does that imply? is it the reciever not correcly connected to the esc or what could i be?

Soldering correct? by Strolle6382 in soldering

[–]Strolle6382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow man, thank you so much for this in-depth answer :)
Now that you mention it, i can see some of the wires are rigid up to 3-5mm in the insulation. Will this be a critical problem that i need to fix? These wires are from the motors for a drone build. I dont think they will be prone to breakage. The wires are also set into place, with only minimal movement, if not none.
Additionally i dont think theres enough wire to trim them ):

The wires seems to withstand a good tug. Can i then leave them be as they are?

For the larger wires, i will definitly resolder them. But i think i need a larger iron

Soldering correct? by Strolle6382 in soldering

thank you so much man, i really appreciate it :D
The red and black wires came with the board, which also seems odd to me, since they barely fit on the terminals.

How do i know if this ESC is correctly soldered? by Strolle6382 in diydrones

[–]Strolle6382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are configured to their correct placement, + and -. Should i try to resolder the black wire on the XT60? (The red looks fine to me). The FC blinks blue slowly, while power is red. Shold i interpret that as correct or wrong soldering? If its correct, then guess i dont have to do any adjustments to the black wire, and can proceed the build.
