« Last post by trust on August 07, 2022, 05:53:47 pm »No problem on small order. I did this knowing it would be small numbers - just want to help out fellow enthusiasts.
I'm planning on making up 8 or so units - at least 2 with just servo pin blocks for you.
I have a gal who does assembly for us free-lance and does impeccable work and is reasonably cheap - $30/hr
May take a week to finish if that's ok. After I know how much she'll charge I'll have a better idea how much it costs.
I'll just charge her cost plus parts cost & shipping.

« Last post by karla on August 07, 2022, 02:39:08 am »Okay, thank you.
I realise my need is a very small number and maybe not worth the trouble to make it.
Can you give a price for 2 units that includes the heat sink+fan plus the two LM1085 5V 3A linear regulators?
In addition to that I am interested in two small(er) units with only with the servo pin part.
That will be installed in helicopters and need to be small but don't need gps, mags, osd etc
Maybe we can continue discussion in PMs.

Is the BEC to the far right in the picture supplying both the two +5V sources?
or you have another BEC?

« Last post by trust on August 05, 2022, 07:47:00 pm »Here's a pix of one installed.
The mini Revo is on the bottom.
Two sets of 6 connectors - outputs plug in on the lower left of the PCB. I usually order them from 1-12 starting at the bottom.
Note ONLY the outputs connect to anything - power and ground are not connected from the mini REVO on the connector pin array.
The cPPM input, plus power gets connected to the bind input on the rcvr. (white/red/blk)
Power to the rcvr and then to the min-Revo comes from the 3 pin (only two used) connector (blk/green) middle left of the flitebrd.
All the servos and motor esc cables are on the bottom right.
Battery power to the flitebrd comes from the red (+) cable upper left, and blk (- under). I usually put 3mm connectors on these to make it easier to connect to whatever. I can supply both ends with 3mm, or just leave these as stubs.
Enclosed photo and schematic. Not shown on schematic is 2nd 5v output. This is a separate 5v regulator with +5/gnd connected to a 3 pin servo cable, that plugs into the end of the chain of servo connectors (see original photo).
There are 3 extra 3 pin connectors on the servo chain to allow for the power input (if used), and 2 other devices that may need power. Normally one also has the 1000uf cap connected also.

, I wasn't able to test the plane for the moment, but sometime in the future I will do it.
For the moment dust is all over it.

Vehicles - Ground / Brushless Motor
« Last post by Gray on August 05, 2022, 05:35:46 am »Hey! Friends, I found several charts about brushless motors (Brushless Motor Chart), which explain the relationship between motor size, voltage, and speed very well. Honestly, this knowledge is very helpful for beginners. Saving these charts will save you time.
