Good AIO, I made a mistake and burned out another one i guess?
I purchased two, put Conformal Coating onto these board before soldering the pads, mind you I put one small layer near the pads then proceeded to put two more layers on the rest of the boards knowing I will be back to put more on.
I got a Cold Solder Joint on the Negative Terminal, I tried to solder it back on, kept on popping off, I proceeded to put more solder on and it seemed to be stuck, then I tested the FC and it wasn’t working.
So it’s Toast, I tested the USB, toast. So I was able to get my second one to solder “welded” I’ve been flying that for a week, did the same process, but went back and tried to clean more of the Conformal Coating off with IsoPropyl.
I damaged it within a week of owning it, contacted NewbeeDrone and they push it along to HAKRC. I’ve been talking to them for a week, they asked the same questions over and over, I had to repeat myself to them, send tons of photos, while they lectured me on the “three defense” sequence of conformal coating.
Yeah I didn’t tin up the pads first, but the amount of Conformal Coating I put on shouldn’t have caused it not to make a good enough contact?
So I was talking to their “support” email and I just realized it’s not worth it to RMS the board especially since they kept on being vague with their answers.
I got a bunch of their boards, but I do have the most problem with Conformal Coating and their boards and me burning them out when I build or transfer.
It is unfortunate that this is basically the only super lightweight RID module, because I have heard a lot of issues with them just straight up not working. Essentially a worthless product. Does not obtain any satellites. I have contacted DroneTag support and they tried troubleshooting a little and then recommended I pay to ship the product all the way back to the Czech Republic… I contacted NewBeeDrone support for a return and they have not responded in 2 business days. I am hoping I will be able to return this or swap it for another unit (if its just a faulty one).
I love NewBeeDrone, the Cockroach 65mm frames and the warranty. However, I decided to try the 75mm frame and have to say they are extremely fragile. I typically reinforce all my frames in the corners with e6000 and have added protection, but that did nothing to help here. I suspect this frame is just basic plastic and would love to see it in a more durable polycarbonate or even better a Polypropylene version.
