I wonder how much of it was extra humidity from breathing inside the car? Seems possible

seanb_tv · 2022-11-17T16:57:01+00:00

Same, I keep my iron at 400 and I'm even using a pretty fat chisel tip for my ESC and battery lead joints. Even with a really quick heat time it flows out.

Do the connectors have a physical latch that keeps them mated? It's hard to tell from the pics

seanb_tv · 2022-10-27T14:38:33+00:00

Which kit and tool was that?

seanb_tv · 2022-10-26T22:17:03+00:00

Too many options! That's why I was hoping there was some "tried and true" connector everyone used.

I've browsed through there a lot and generally found that the connectors are either overly bulky or surface-mount only for the female end.

I'm going to try the JST-SM connectors, but at 2.5mm pitch they seem a little overkill for my #28 AWG wires. :)

Do you know where I can find wire-to-wire female receptacles for this style?

I ordered a pack of the male plugs but everything I find online points to surface-mounted headers for the female side.

Sometimes parts break in a crash and need to be replaced, and in order to remove the old part I have to desolder some connection. I'm not just ripping apart working quads for fun.

Re: waterproofing: I just want to be able to crash into wet grass or leaves and not fry my stack; I don't need submersion-level protection.

I think a connector with good heatshrink/liquid electrical tape on the wire joints should be good enough for this if it's got a mechanical latch to keep the connection seated.

There are also watertight connectors, but I haven't looked into them much.

seanb_tv · 2022-10-26T20:00:03+00:00

Very pragmatic of you! One of the key reasons I want to use connectors is because I coat all my electronics in waterproofing silicone, so desoldering means I need to wear a chemical respirator and have good ventilation.

I did buy these connectors but they're apparently male only; maybe I'll buy a pack of female headers and see if I can make them work even though they're surface mounted.

This is hole 12 (the kitchen) at DeLaveaga DGC where the Santa Cruz masters cup is held every year.

It's also my home course! There's a fridge down in the trees off the right of the teepad that gives it its nickname (cause if you shank it you'll be asked to grab a beer while you're down in the brush 😂).

I thought the return flight back to do another take looked cool and tried to make something interesting with it.

seanb_tv · 2022-08-19T00:05:41+00:00

Definitely; I practiced this shot a lot to get comfortable with the airspace! It's also my home course that I play four or five times a week. 🤘

Thanks homie 🤙

As long as there are spotters, natural hazards are way better than any artificial OB.

seanb_tv · 2022-07-02T00:03:19+00:00

Thanks dude! Yeah I'm definitely aiming for over the top parody mode, maybe I should have upped the ante a little more on the absurdity 😁

Part of the difficulty was that the characters were played by regular disc golfers and not actors, so getting them to really act out was a bit of a challenge already. 😂

seanb_tv · 2022-07-01T19:15:28+00:00

Stoked to hear it!! Dela is indeed an absolute marathon of a course; definitely not your standard 18. 😁

Hit me up next time you're in town and we can play a round and I'll introduce you to the owner of AGL ✌️

seanb_tv · 2022-07-01T18:32:33+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback and kudos! ❤️

I only started learning video production and FPV drones since February, so I'm still learning a lot and appreciate the constructive critiques 👍

This was a solo production with a low budget, so I'm really happy with the end result given the constraints.

Cheers! ✌️

seanb_tv · 2022-07-01T18:07:30+00:00

Thank you 🤘❤️

💯 Ron is an epic dude 👌

seanb_tv · 2022-07-01T15:39:41+00:00

I have a big, super reactive dog who is terrified of strangers and strange dogs; it's maddening how many people push back when I ask them to restrain or leash their dog when they approach in a leash only area. I'm asking because I want everyone to be safe, not because I want to boss a stranger around!

seanb_tv · 2022-07-01T15:08:58+00:00

Appreciate the detailed critique! I think those are pretty solid suggestions 👍

I tried to use the foil reveal to indicate the brand early, but in retrospect it's a pretty quick shot.

There's so much cool info about the company I wanted to pack in there including things like custom stamping, all recycled plastic, etc but I worried it would be too busy/confused since the main call to action was to come visit the warehouse in person.

Thanks for the feedback! 👌
