I still fly some of my old quads from six plus years ago. Keeping up with the latest and greatest isn’t necessary to have fun and it gets expensive.

    Excellent video, very cool man! Something I would suggest for your smaller wiring considering the PCB terminals have the holes in the board is strip and tin the small wires then stick them into the terminal holes on the under side then proceed to solder them on the top on the board it'll give you a stronger mechanical connection and help tidy up the board as well! Looks great otherwise!

      @danielwhyatt3278 Před 2 lety

      Yeah that’s a good shout out. I haven’t done any soldering in quite a long time since I was in school, but I remember using a soldering iron through circuit board holes was much more efficient as it keeps it more tidy and means the connection is generally stronger, even if the cable has to bend closer to the connection point if you are wanting it to lie down flat.

    Pro tip for making your solder look perfect every time. Always use flux! Even when using flux core solder it help's immensely to flux up the pads and wire tips before soldering and makes the solder joints look uniform and flat.

      @@dcampbell8779 That’s exactly what I was thinking. You can buy enough tip thinner to last half a lifetime for $10.
      In my experience a properly cleaned and tinned tip does WAY more for the quality of solder joints than using extra flux with flux cored solder.

    • @256alexdt
      @256alexdt Před 2 lety +5

      If you use very very good quality solder often it's not needed to use flux ... when I use cheap solder(Even with flux core because they're not all created equal) I use my flux pen all the time.

    The only thing you gloss over without much detail is the programming and setup config. Seems to me that that is the bit where you need to understand what and why...
    The physical build looks just like a model kit build, where everything naturally goes together quite easily (assuming you can solder and use a screwdriver).
    You see, i'd have just unsoldered the wires to get the motors to run the right direction....

  • @Justin666i
    @Justin666i Před 2 lety +21

    Here's how to solder: when removing insulation you want the wires to keep their braided, always remove more insulation than you need (account for the longer lead) use flux on the lead, making sure it penetrates the strands then tin leaving a bright silvery lead, if it's full or hazy the bond won't be complete. Then clip the lead to length, keeping the strands braided and brush flux and residue with isopropyl. When prepping the pads, use plenty of flux (another trick is to wipe the solder strand with alcohol, it cleans and residue and dirt?)
    You don't want a gob of solder, just a light tin, use flux and attach lead, you should have a nice even filet around the lead boding to the pad, you should barely be able to see the wire strands, if you can't you applied to much solder. Wipe with isopropyl and spray with electronic surface cleaner.
    The pull type wire strippers are better than the twist pull types for cleaner insulation cuts and keeps wire strands intact without fraying at the top. The wire needs to be intact and not frayed or hand twisted, keep the original form for better contact distribution.
    Once you lay down the wire to the pad, you want to do it in one go, so use the right tip and make sure it's clean and lightly tinned with solder.

      I feel like I should mention this is a good comment, but also some solders especially some unleaded ones do leave a dull non shiny finish but have a good connection, something to keep in mind, and if they do add too much solder to a joint, as long as it’s a good connection and it isn’t interfering with anything then just leave it be and learn to use less next time :)

    I was considering buying the Emax Tinyhawk II Freestyle as my first drone, but I would definitely prefer to build my own as I already have the tools.
    You think something like this would be nicer?

    • @TRONCATFPV
      @TRONCATFPV  Před 2 lety +9

      I think starting off you would probably be best with the tinyhawk. If you get the package with the controller and goggles you can use those goggles with any analog drones you get in the future. Also, the tinyhawk is relatively durable and is actually alot of fun for its size. I would recommend going with the tinyhawk then eventually upgrading to a simple build like this. Hope this helps!

    • @Olafaloofian

    Hey thanks for the wonderful upload.
    Couple questions.
    Instead of the 20x20mm flight control and the 20x20 vtx… could I just use a 30x30 flight controller and 30x30vtx? Or a 30x30 flight controller with a 20x20 vtx? Hopefully I’m making sense with my questionslol
    Also, the Mount for the fpv cam, was that also 3d printed? Could you provide the specs that please?

    • @TRONCATFPV
      @TRONCATFPV  Před 2 lety +1

      Absolutely! Only reason I went with 20x20 was because of the quality of the stack and the price that I was able to get it for. the 30x30 stacks are typically more expensive. you could definitely do a 30x30 FC and 30x30 VTX as long as you can mount it on top of the FC. the rear holes on this specific frame are 20x20.
      So the camera that I went with is a nano. it came with an adapter for nano to micro but the frame I'm using holds a mini camera. so basically I have two brackets on there holding it on lol. the bracket that came with the camera and one that is 3d printed. I just posted a link to the adapter I used in the description (www.thingiverse.com/thing:4070488).
      Hope this helps!

      flight range and time varies depending on what battery and receiver you're using.

Thanks for including how you set up the programming for the drone. I’ve never done anything like this before though, so how do you actually put the programming into the drone? Also how do you sync it up with a remote control and what are the best controllers price wise that are good for this type of drone?
