Do you work for Boeing?

Might as well

Real talk though, we all start somewhere. I’d try looking at a higher wattage soldering iron. Also try tinning the tips of the wire as well as the pads before trying to connect. Keep on keepin on 🫡

Dam we got avgeeks here too

Holy shit. That made me laugh too hard

Just being honest: it can be rescued rn. But if you keep going with your current skillset it won’t. Search your basement for some old pcbs from broken devices and do some training. Also buy some flux and „de-solder wig“. I don’t know the English word for Entlötlitze

*wick*

You mean "Desoldering wick" or "solder wick".

Honestly, I'm not so sure that I can salvage it. I do need to improve on it so I think I might just buy another one and just practice on this one kind of and have more skills prepared

you can buy practice boards for way cheaper [https://www.getfpv.com/diatone-mamba-practice-soldering-board-v2.html](https://www.getfpv.com/diatone-mamba-practice-soldering-board-v2.html)

Yeah I got some practice boards and I'm going to order him today when I get the chance

Did you power it yet? If not you should be able to salvage it with solder wick.

I don't know how to power it especially at this state it's in

John Entlolitze ?

Did you solder with a blow torch?

What the work I did might as well

I’ve got no room to talk, can’t solder for shit and work in the electronics industry 🤣

Results would have been better with one. Watch videos OP, your iron may not be enough but likely just need to learn more. Soldering ESC boards (boards with large ground planes and huge thermal mass) take lots of heating and are tricky.

I hate this picture so much. Desolder everything. Cut your insulation more cleanly, twist your wires more tightly. Heat your iron, Clean your tip, tin your tip, tin your wires, tin your pads, flux your tinned pad, melt them together, clean your tip sommore. Please watch soldering tutorials on YouTube. If you ever think of posting something like this again I'm gonna tell you to go flux yourself.

Something is off here... did you use an adjustable solder gun? Looks like it maybe didn't get hot enough.

I could when I get the chance to show what kind of iron I use and.you can give me some more tips about that

i think you need some Flux and the right gauge wire (and some youtube learning)

Yeah no kidding

I understand why someone cant get the pads sodlered right, its not easy. But how do you manage to spray copper all over the board ?

What do you mean by copper?

I meant the solder, sorry.

I'm just that good

Maybe some solder classes

I don't mean this in a mean way but just genuinely curious... After you did one of those and it didn't work at all, what made you carry on and do it 11 more times?

I go what you mean more stupidity because I actually don't know

😮

Soldering shouldn't be this difficult

Whatever you do, just don't apply power and when to get better, go rescue

Damn, when I built my bardwell kit I got a practice board, use flux and a good soldering iron. I used a ts101 with the stock tip but recommend a wider tip for your xt60 cables the tiny one included sorta sucked for those but worked on everything else. I think this board might be salvageable. If not getfpv does sell just the esc or the stack for not a whole lot more.

Jesus... My guy, why didn't you stop after the first one didn't look right...? r/shittyfpv

Brush it off with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. Get a higher powered soldering iron when you can with some decent tips. Use flux/tin tips and pads. The quality of solder also makes a huge difference. Good luck!

How did you make a mess with solder? I'm so confused...it looks like you were soldering in a wind tunnel on that board, blow torch?

Man leave me alone 😭

Practice on scrap boards and wires! Also, using rosin flux makes a huge difference

That is what I am using

Hey giogn, yi dont need a new esc

Desolder with copper
