Maiden flight electrical block diagram is done. Tim Gu is getting started on the harness design. All harness sections below need a harness diagram.
- fuselage
- right wing
- left wing
- tail
- power & can splitter (connects all 4 sections above together)
Fried ELRS boards?
- Not installing an antenna while boards is powered up means that transmission line is terminated with an open circuit, wave is getting reflected back and the doubling voltage destroyed the transmitter chip
