    FC wont connect to PC or operate properly...

    Hey thanks for your reply! This is the stack I have and it is a 4 in 1 blheli32 esc. I do agree something went wrong with the flash. https://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-micro-lux-v3-f4-30a-blheli-32-4in1-stack-fc-esc-combo.html I did try and put the fc into dfu mode and reflash it but I cant get...

    FC wont connect to PC or operate properly...

    Well I tried your idea and it was a no go even though my other quads connected to speedy bee just fine so its obviously a problem with the board. I did find something interesting when I tried to solder the boot pins and connect to my pc to try and flash. I did get the chimes from the pc saying...

    FC wont connect to PC or operate properly...

    I checked last night and it isnt recognized by anything. All I get is a red light. I will say this I did have a driver issue when trying to connect to blheli32 to do the update. I had to use zadig to get it connected even though it would connect to betaflight before that. What's weird is it...

    FC wont connect to PC or operate properly...

    I'm not sure but I'll check. I wouldn't think so since I cant connect to betaflight or blheli32. It doesnt even recognize anything is plugged in. I know I have all the right drivers on my laptop as well cause it worked fine before the update you know.

    FC wont connect to PC or operate properly...

    I have a Lumenier micro lux v3 f4 stack that I just did a rebuild with. Before the rebuild everything worked fine with all the same components. I did update the escs with blheli32. I was trying to fix a video issue caused by vtx and rx being too close or touching. Once I realized the issue was...

    Motors 1 & 4 wont spin...

    This is the same brushless whoop I was having problems with before. I took all the motor wires off and soldered them again and they all seem to have a good connection. Is there some way I can test to see if it's the motors or the 4 in 1 esc? I know I can take the motors off and swap them but I...

    Smoking esc....

    I got an update. Well I pulled all the solder off the esc and cleaned it real well. Then using new 63/37 MG Chemicals brand I re soldered all the motor wires and lipo pigtail back on to the board. Then plugged in the lipo and voila! Everything seems to be in order. I dont know if it was a cold...

    Smoking esc....

    Thank you very much for all your help and advice! I'll post back when I've had time to address things.

    Smoking esc....

    Ok great thank you for all your help again! I will do as you recommended. Just to be clear the solder components are the same its merely the ratio that causes the different solidification you stated? Also are there any brands of solder that you prefer and have noticed a real difference in...

    Smoking esc....

    Sorry for the slow response and thank you for answering my post. I'm using 60/40 tin/lead rosin core solder. Checking the resistance between + & - solder joints on the main lipo lead I got a reading of 10.8 k ohms. Thoughts? Would cold solder joints cause heat to the point where the excess rosin...

    Smoking esc....

    I'm building a brushless whoop with a teeny 1s stack and I have everything wired up and I'm pretty sure it's all correct. But when I go to power it on the esc starts to smoke at the negative lipo lead and multiple motor pads. It starts cooking the excess resin from soldering. Any idea what could...

    Isdt charged cells differently...

    I just charged a single lipo and both cells were balanced. But it's always balanced the cells nicely when charging up to 6 lipos. It does charge my 4s lipos fine but then again it has always charged my 2s lipos fine too. Here's the really weird thing. Right before this round of charging I...
