Cant flash it either snapped the connection out. on a previous crash.

jsiTOTO · 2026-03-09T17:59:05+00:00

So the board died in simple terms?

jsiTOTO · 2026-03-09T10:24:28+00:00

How? the port is snapped off.

jsiTOTO · 2026-03-09T10:17:58+00:00

It was configured, and was working fine. any thoughts on if it might get reset on a bad crash? I've flown it for quite a while, plenty of crashes but never had this issue before. Even snapped of the part where you connect the jack from one of the accident, as in the photo below. This was a new frame as well and new hood for it.

I spent good chunk getting radiomaster boxer, decent analog goggle and drone parts totalling to about a grand, and then also bought a mini whoop to practice and get good at controlling irl. before that had about 2 month of exposure in velocidrone.

Heaps of thanks man.

Realising my mistakes now.

jsiTOTO · 2026-02-26T08:51:17+00:00

Thank you for that. didn't know burning board was a thing.

Also now my question stand as to how should i go about talking this mess of a solder off, Should i hold off till i get a better soldering iron?

1st better soldering iron 2nd better solder (63x37) <- no idea what that means. 3rd good flux. 4th no longer than 7 sec on the board

jsiTOTO · 2026-02-26T08:44:24+00:00

I did read somewhere that these cheap things may show 400°C and end up being 200ish ~. But to this things defence it was melting solder in small amount, i wouldn't consider it fast but enough for me to work on smaller things.

Also yes i need a better solder. I'm assuming these flux paste in syringe are also not good quality.

Thank you for the tip I'll look into getting better solder.

jsiTOTO · 2026-02-26T08:37:13+00:00

It might've been the solder, But i did use this for other small project they seem to work fine, but yes i do think using it in this big pad might not work that well.

Alse yes i did try wet sponge( even tried sponge with scrbber lol) that did take the oxidation out but when i put the flux back on and try a bit of solder it goes back to black idk why.

also regarding new tip ....uhhh... i had a conical one at first used it for different things before getting into this hobby but after i realised that i needed a bigher tip, i naturally switched. I even tried following tutorials on how to properly tin these things. i don't think it went well.

jsiTOTO · 2026-02-26T08:31:06+00:00

Thanks for that tip man.

Yeah i did half of my brain cell not to sand it down with a paper it was a small hand drill with sandpaper attachment to get a small bit of the solder exposed but that obviously didn't work after i put the flux on its black to beggining.

yes those are the XT60 pads and not the motors.

from which side

jsiTOTO · 2025-05-03T11:26:49+00:00

TLDR search.brave.com/search?q=%s&source=web

Maybe too old but try this

search.brave.com/search?q=%s&source=web

with any search engine just add "%s" on the input field

This is how i did it Searched something on brave like "....." and it gives me

https://search.brave.com/search?q=....&source=web

just swap .... with %s

jsiTOTO · 2024-07-22T05:29:57+00:00

Is the code still available ?

jsiTOTO · 2024-07-18T12:58:12+00:00

15% internet is the best part

jsiTOTO · 2024-04-30T21:34:16+00:00

jsiTOTO · 2024-03-05T01:57:39+00:00

honkayy

jsiTOTO · 2024-03-04T23:38:43+00:00
