 So I thought I'd just quickly go over these boards with you and why I'm going to do the swap around to this build and The reason is is you know, it's going to be we're going to have more fun with a GPS module on there. That's for sure It does add extra weight and that's going to be undesirable But I am going to get some more five mil arms because I can't actually get the old frame apart because I don't have Very good tool to do in the job and I mean the knowledge bad as some but they're not as good as others Okay, so I'm a bit stuck at the moment for that, but let's just go over these boards there So the board at the moment the one I'm using is on the left hand side to the upper left and the bottom left is the board That's on this quite at the moment And where it fails is one it doesn't have a barometer on it Even though that may look like a barometer. There's no little holes. I presume it's a timing crystal I don't know But it doesn't have a barometer and it and it doesn't have the SPI for SD a and SCL because we need a data connection and Look if you look over this side look you can see on this side He does there's a says GPS and mag here and you can see here. There's the data and it's the clock Which go over to these which is on the underside of this board now this board also even though It's not shown here just where the connections are for the SD a and SCL That there's a barometer there There is a barometer just like there's the casing here for the flash of the SD card if you want to do some recording of your Black box recording The unlocking add the data Recording so this is why I'm going to shift them out as you can see if you look at these boards They're very similar anyway I mean if you look at some of the components the way they're laid out it's pretty similar there are differences Of course, there are two different boards, but when you look at the connections Across the top here and the connections across the top here. They're the same You got a little extra connection on this board here because there's a s7 Which would tell me that that's a Seal connectors, but anyway, so um, but down the bottom here same connections, so Connection of this board isn't going to be too difficult But everything's going to pretty much go in the same place apart from we're going to have these extra connections here for the for the magnetometer and the Satellite receiver I say satellite receiver because it's got like two or three different types of satellites you can receive in there And so it's not just the the GPS which is the American global positioning satellites Yeah, so they're both got still got OSD's the both still got the same arm SD SDM 32 F405 chips on them And I think even the accelerometers are exactly the same on both boards as well So that's what we're going to switch over now I don't use these because I don't have a power supply or a power distribution board that has one of these connections on that is and Also on this as you can see and I'm pretty sure on this one as well Yeah, we got one here on this one as well on the new board That actually takes up a UART on this one. You can see it's indicated there for RX 5 and TX 5 which is received on you are 5 and the transmitter and you are 5 and that will be the same over here on this board Whether it's you are 5 or not. I'm not remember doesn't matter though We've got plenty to do what we want to do because fortunately enough like I said, there's a built-in on-screen display Onto both these boards where that's where I normally use up a another you are but on this I'm not going to so right enough to do let's take a look at the build itself and Have a look how we're going to do this Okay, so here we are at the build itself now what I've done is I'm I've already unscrewed and bolted The top plate so we're going to take that off. I've disconnected the Receiver connection there, and I've also just popped off the antenna there What I might just do to make this a little bit simpler That's fine as it goes back underneath for just as easy and it does So that's one of the reasons why I like building into this sort of things if I just take that out of the way You might see it a bit better It just makes life so much simpler I can just pop those on and off as required And we're good. Good. We're good. I'll put that out the way So what are we going to do now we got a disconnect the VTX So that's gonna be obviously coming off the we've got a video connection and a Smart audio connection to come off that I use this See if we've got that to come off there off the flight controller We're all I'm going to do now is just undo these four nuts And we can pop that off. I hope I didn't do those too tight I'll have to get a little tool in or something just to give me a little bit better grip on there Let's have a look Could have probably done with a little bit of prepping so if I do have to do a jump cut I'll do a jump cut. Let's see what we can use What did I do with that? Some might just cut that out there, but you might just leave it Let's just give those a little tiny Just a little tiny I like to see what where my fingers are going on this Now if you do get into building your own Make sure that you get a few halfway decent tools. They don't have to be Top-much tools. Remember this isn't like, you know, we're not dealing with a tractor here Or a big lorry truck As my american cousins would say and uh, I don't know what they say in uh, australia cousins there in new zealand and canada Yeah, yeah, in the uk we say things like lorry We have lorries. I think I prefer the word trucks to be honest with you Right, yes, we got one that's just playing up a little tiny bit. That's about right, isn't it? Always gonna have one. Always gonna be one But yes, if I probably should have a little maybe it'd be good to have a little tiny spanner But I know I do have a couple of little tiny ones, but I've never actually seen if one Will fit these But the good thing about doing this sort of thing is you always got to remember as well Give yourself a bit of time have a bit of patience with yourself as well because It's one of the things that really helps on this Is if you've got to be a patient and if the one underneath isn't just turning round on you So How I'm not I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna look for the container I've been using just to pop the top screw thing Always good to have a little container, of course you can Chuck your bolts and your nuts and Always good to have a safe place for your nuts Always good We're gonna get them off. I think I'm part of the part of the issue I've got here is the one underneath the Natural damper might be turning a little tiny bit what I'm trying to Turn these on my fingers. Yeah, it is coming. I'm done. Just uh, it's nice nice firm connections. No nice firm Yeah Eating through my fingers But again, this is another reason why you want to give yourself plenty of time Don't don't be in a rush with these things Because the more you're rushed you're more likely to overlook something And you know, you may find yourself having to just take it apart again, which can take time as you can see And depending on how long this goes on for probably end up jump cutting it But I think it's I think it's good to see that things don't always go smoothly as you might hope and expect. I mean This apart from just being hovered in here Hasn't been anywhere. So there's no dust on it. There's no nothing. It's all lovely I gave all the used parts a bit of a A bit of a clean down anyway. I've lost them There we go. Just get that Okay, so now I can just lift that from the top there and I gotta remember these cables will still be connected So I'm just gonna pop that off Put that in there Now I've got to remember now That I want to take all these off. So I'm gonna Literally disconnect this These are not rubber. These ones at the top because this is just where the This is just where the BTX was sitting and it's all right. It's not as sensitive as the the flight controller for vibration It's always good to stick the flight control on some rubber standoffs some Insulating standoffs. Okay. So that's pretty much ready to go. So we've got that out of the way Um, the power is connected to the The board underneath the power distribution board And the one where we're gonna sort of try to remember what's what is here And we're gonna have a slightly little rethink as well for the board because if I remember rightly that um I have got I think I've got my connection over here for the on three RXT x3 And I think I'm already pre-using these here. So just have to take a little look at that makes absolutely no difference whatsoever So I'm gonna get a soldering iron on now Um, and I will come back when it's heated up. I'm not gonna just sit here and wait for that to heat up Should have probably put that on a bit earlier. Shouldn't I but hey all this is done without any scripts or anything like that You get it live if something goes wrong. You get to see what happens Um, and if it's successful, hey, that's a bonus too. So just give me a few moments for that to heat up Just a little bit of it. Try not to go in with such a big heavy-handed tip This is what I use for like the ec's and bigger connections But you don't want anything you probably want a little tiny flat end one if you've got one or a carnival But it doesn't want to be very big at all But you want the temperature up high enough That um, you don't have to leave the soldering iron on the board too long So you don't want that heat to dissipate through the board and be affecting any of the components on there So you want it to be high enough as you can drop it on them within a couple of seconds Take off the part that you want there and do the wire Okay, so back in the tick Okay, so just while that's warming up. I just thought I'd say to you um A couple of bits and pieces about your solder That you want you don't want to use a big heavy solder I think this is 0.3 something like that and that's uh, that's good, but you want to keep it below 0.5 definitely because 0.5 is too big and When it comes to like cleaning off the tip once it's hot, you know because you left some solder on there because you're Tin it at the end of your usage just to keep that that tip nice and clean Keeps the air off it as well. Otherwise you start getting issues with the solder won't actually um It doesn't connect it sort beads up on the tip Uh, so you always want to make sure you tin the ends of that and keep it clean now I tend to use this sort like brass wool stuff This is mixed it's got a bit of iron in there as well because you know You buy brass wool from ebay and sometimes it comes through as iron Sometimes it comes through like this nice and nice and brassy That's what I tend to use for cleaning my tip because One I find that if you use a wet sponge with some people like it They like the sound of it. It's your own preference, I suppose but the wet sponge rolls won't sort of change the temperature more So you're always faffing for temperature Uh, yeah, we should be uh should be heat up by now so I got my But it's not a very expensive soldering iron so even though it says 366 it may not actually be 366 So I'm going to go straight and I'm going to put a little bit soldering pull this This lamp down. I hope it doesn't affect The camera too much. Let's just give it a little tiny little tiny tin on here Now if it goes a bit weird on the sound, sorry about that. It's just a it's the way I've got to I've got to position the lamp So I'm just going to take off the camera Like I said, you just want it on there for couple of few seconds Take off the camera and now we're going to um We're going to take off the just because I'm on this side I'm going to take off this uh S2 connection for the ESC and also the ground for it You don't always need to use the ground But if you want to make sure that you've got a direct path You know back Specific like these are then you stick the ground on I'm going to get a bit of a grip of that first Take that off cool slightly Take that off. I'm going to take off the uh the vtx connection We're going to actually get to it. There we go Little tiny thing there And spin this around We're going to have the uh the buzzer as well. We're going to well We're going to take everything off this just because everything's needed The only thing I'm going to leave on just for now is this because I need to uh I need to put these on individually so I'll put the boards next to each other and cross these over Just because it's going to help me keep an eye on what is ground and what is 5 volt because they're those two there But as you can see they're both black And what is the transmit receiver on this side because again, you can see the both blacks It's going to be half me to identify um If they're not there If uh if I just take them off and just leave them the same is on the um The same is on the uh um Satellite receiver. We've got six cables on that five of them are black And um one is red That's really helpful You know you think that they might think you know the people who produce them might think you know just to be helpful. We're gonna uh We're gonna um Color coordinate them, but hey, it's all part of the fun So I'm going to take off the smart audio. It's just easy if I get to it like this Sorry if my hands are in the way and you can't really see a great deal But there's not a lot I can do my my setup for my camera is useless, but hey, just give me time and I'll I'll get all these things dealt with I don't expect this is going to be my first build or rebuild You know video There's going to be plenty more to come on show over different frames and bits and pieces as we progress So the ground and the um s1 connection for the uh the first Because we go one two three four for the ec's Okay So just for the second let's just take this off here I've got the um connection underneath here as well for vcc even though you can't see it Underneath there is a connection. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to see if I can just pull that around Because I have to still remember there's a connection here as well. I can get that through the top This is the five volt Going to the board and I don't know if you can hear what's going on in the background But I may have to Close the windows But I've got to do that a little bit longer because if I did want to put an sd card in there I've got to be able to pull that cable part away But just for now, I'm just going to untwist those slightly Clean anything off that tip And I'm just going to put a little bit of pressure So I can just pull these through the board Even though to be honest with you, it's me doing this so I probably wouldn't have pushed them through the board anyway So do what I'm going to do. I'm going to yeah, it looks like I did push them through the board And that was really silly of me Uh, this might just take a little little extra minutes of time But you could if I could just get a hold of one of those at a time There we go. I think that's One unit off Doesn't matter if I just knuckle up the wire a little time of it because to be honest with you There we go. That's true Um, we're going to clip it down anyway make it a little tiny bit shorter So I'm pretty sure it can make it a little tiny bit shorter Just take my own life a little bit easier here right at this minute in time I'm just going to I'm just going to nip that and I'll clean it up before it goes on to something else Just to save time to stop the hassle Now as you can see down here We've also done the same thing But this time if I just unwrap that Just once or twice It's going to make it a lot easier for me. I didn't push them through the board on the bottom What I did was I just used tweezers and held them in place and undid them So it's going to be dead easy to undo that again a little tiny bit of a I've seen that just a little tiny Just a little tiny bit. There we go And the board has left the quad now we can just shift that out the way for a minute That's what we want to do now You want to bring these in I'm going to shift this over it's not going to be a problem But this I also want to trim down a little tiny bit So I'm I'm going to cheat because I'm going to undo it a little bit And I'm going to do each cable one by one I don't intend on just undoing it all and then sitting there trying to fathom out again What connection is what what cables walks look you can see they're twisted together Now the reason why I twist the cables together Is because especially on the the power rails. It's when you're five volt here There's going to be current flow and when there's current flow through a cable There's a magnetic field generated Magnetic fields can be you know they can They can be receivers of Noise and they can also transmit noise So the way I look at it is if you just twist things up as much as you can A little bit different on there because it's such a big moment why there's probably a bit too A bit too big but um if you just twist things up where you can then uh Then yeah You eliminate That's what happens to see you eliminate that magnetic field It's all one cancels out the other as it were when you twist them together You must have heard the um Before when it comes to things like networking and such the twisted pair twisted cables How they use this is what happens when I'm actually keep the The flux you see it's got resin the Yeah It's good. Sorry the the solder has flux already in it Which is What helps with these connections? It helps you connect If it didn't have the flux it'd be very hard for it to flow properly So, okay, we've got that off. I'm going to put that on Um now this like I say we're going to do this uh wire by wire. So what are we doing now? So I'm just going to take these off here But what we would do is um, I'll do a little a little jump cut. I think on this because I said again take a few moments But you saw the way I did this when I went up what I used it for Was just so it makes it easier setting up the gyroscope Um That word sounds really weird to me If it's the wrong word, I'll stick the right way I don't know if I've had too much coffee today or not enough coffee today Not sure Yeah, so these little things don't have to take that long I mean it's Nice to have things pre-set up, but that's not how we all work. We don't always work like that and Let me get it through there I'm just gonna put my soldering iron on to 200 degrees so it can just sit there and stay warm But not too not too warm And it's just I heat my tip too much I'll put a little tiny bit of soldering just to keep that Flux going Nice and there Ready to be used. So let's have a look. Yeah, like I say, I probably want to cut these down a little bit And I also want to if I just compared them side by side look So here I've taken my Vivo now normally With this bit here is where you put the five volt in And I'm pretty sure because it looks nice and shiny. That's what I've used on the other one So I'm going to use this again for the five volt in Yes, it was yeah, because this it would be in the way of that Um, and I may even use smaller cable because that was quite a big bit of cable wasn't it was quite chunky after a little bit I don't know what I've done with it now But it seems to be quite chunky and we don't really need it to be that chunky and I've got some I've got some smaller cable somewhere There's a little bag of smaller cable that'll do. Yes, I'll do. Don't even know this comes from what it's for but We use a little bit of black A little bit of red It's thinner in the other stuff Which means It's a bit lighter And it's not going to for this very short distance. It doesn't need you know, don't have to worry even if the board even if You know, we're pulling like an amp. Let's say through the flight controller Uh, you know with a little tiny bit of this it's not going to Not a problem at all Not a problem at all nicely enough a couple of ends already pre-tinned ready for us to use and I'll twist a bit of that together To ensure that you know You've got that twisted pair going thing going on cancels out any magnetic field between itself. So does an induce or produce interference and Yeah, so Let's take a look. So we're going to put our five volt then onto here. Like I said, because that's the way it works off the You know, I left that on the power distribution board didn't I? And then which means we're going to get to take our five volt from somewhere else for this now Don't want to use these because on here. It's the same. So that's three volt and four point five volt So I think I think I think I think we're using the five volt such there and on the we're using I think we're using um No, how are we going to do this and because we need five volts without five volts coming in Goes on to there and then we've got our vtx power We'll be just taking the vtx anyway. We've got ground for that. That doesn't matter We've got five volt here and we've got ground but we're using that for the camera Um Our vtx itself that we're going to be using is coming straight from the power distribution board Which is better because then we're not pulling it through this board Um So really then we want to be thinking of where we can get another five volt supply from I always suppose there's one there. Look Yep, there's one there so we can just use a five volt from here So what I'm going to do then is I'm going to move from the receiver I think um Because our receiver goes underneath here and it just about fits into that doesn't it which is perfect So if anything I may shift the receiver wires over here to tx one, so I'm not really using that But over here, of course And then keep the five volts there for that. So that does the receiver that part there And then all we're going to do then is make sure we got power for our GPS seller receiver and that I'm going to use the power here then because we do have This here ground and this five volt here And so I'm going to pop these off put them there and we can put the power from the distribution board to here The camera will take its power from over here the same as what it was on here five volts And that's it and the vtx will be connected there. We don't need any of that for that. So that's it That's that's that's how we're going to do the wiring That seems simple enough So let's crack on with that then Yup as we have Because we'll stick this onto our x3 on here as well Because you gotta remember i'm using a crossfire protocol. So I don't need the s plus pity It would have been nice actually to have something that I could use the s bus with I wouldn't have actually used that with crossfire, but never mind for now. We just use as it is um Up a little bit Yeah, so um I was because if I did then I could use the I could use the um Rx2 and the s bus for a receiver then I still have another you are free It's always nice to have a free you are so it's spare Just in case I could add bluetooth Hmm But anyway, so that's what we're going to do. That's the plan That's how we're going to move forward with that and of course we're going to leave the The connections down here for the magnetometer and Yeah, so I think the first one we're going to do there is disconnect that from there The five volt and just pop it over here Even though like I said because this is now there's going to be an excess bit of wire So we would be nice to just cut just an inch off these Uh not so much this one here. I don't think Well, maybe I reckon we could probably squeeze that down to there and still have it connected To the back of the um And it's just this excess bit of wire you see I know it's not a lot, but it but in a way it is a lot It is a lot. So I think that's what I'm going to do. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to cut this down to here Okay, I'm going to cut it down about an inch off it and then fit it all like that But I'm going to come back when I've done that. You know, there's not me. I'm not going to bore the knife out here with that I'll come back when I've done that. Okay, so we'll do a little jump cut Okay guys, so There we go. We've got the uh gps Sorted on the back there that will move out the way if I want to put a data card in nicely We've moved the power to just above the the signal for the esc and we've And everything else is just exactly the same. So Now I'm going to put the 5 volts on on here For the board So that'll be powering up the board and then all I've got to do then is connect up my smart audio the vtx Yeah, sorry the camera What the whole camera feed needs to go on there because it's a positive minus and the Camera itself and then the video transmitter And that's it. I mean that's near enough ready to be sat on oh and of course the vcc because we want to be able to see what the voltage is In the on-screen display so we can keep an eye on that Always a good idea Okay, we've managed to save a little bit of wire Um, even though it's not really a savings It's going to get thrown as a possibility. I might use this bit here to connect the board um The board to the it's only for the vcc I'm going to use this Put a piece off here and use this for the um the 5 volts. I still need to be able to move that out the way Because it will be a bit of a problem When I see as it goes there because I'm going to do it from underneath here And then I'm going to connect to do the board so I don't really see the the cables coming out the side I've got a cable coming out the side here, but there's not a lot I can really do about that um I prefer the cables to be all done inside Uh But so yeah, so when I connect that of course, I'll have to leave it long enough So you can sit down the edge here or down the edge here just so you can be pulled out of the way Um, but not too long of course because I don't want to um Well, I want to be keep it as light as possible and we can save her I know there's not going to be a lot saved there, but That is still a saving nonetheless Sorry about that Really irritating with the LED, isn't it? I'll have to do something about that maybe fix up some sort of a lighting system. I don't know Get a different camera that doesn't see it Okay, so right I'm going to get that connected There's not a great deal to tell and then we're going to um Yeah, just power up the board and and see where we're at
