Just got a new Speedybee F405 mini and I noticed the copper layers between the power leads seem to be really close together in some spots. Is this normal?

personally id sand it down but i also accidentally shorted an esc by putting it in wrong 💀

im not 100% sure but that looks very not normal

put some current through it and check it with a multimeter
livid fox
I should already own a multimeter, but I think I'll pick one up tomorrow to check

cant u just use a smoke stopper and see if anything happens

Running a continuity test with a multimeter would be better
For a few reasons, one, to use a smoke stopper they'd have to solder on a lead, and that might mess with returning
Two, smoke stoppers still allow some current through before it pops, so something may break, it's much less likely, but a continuity test will be perfectly fine
Three it's just easier

if the product is defective, and the consumer finds that out after they test it, they still should be able to give it back even if its used

i think ur confusing the smoke stopper with the thing with a lightbulb
smoke stopper usually almost never lets any current to run
its so hard to damage a drone using a smoke stopper

tbh if it's shorted then surely it will do more than 1A that a smokestopper detects iirc
and no voltage across the actual electronics
since it's shorted
dark musk
I mean an actual smoke stopper

Mine has a trip time of 15ns

not this?
dark musk
Most definitely not that
dark musk
Yes this

anyways you don't have any multimeter
"I should already own a multimeter, but I think I'll pick one up tomorrow to check"
Oh well
Doesn't really matter I guess
I do still think continuity would be faster

anyways if the battery pads are actually shorted it shouldn't cause any damage to the actual ESC circuit

Oh
Yeah that to
Didn't think about that
Lol
Just goes through the battery pads

if we are using a smoke stopper?
or even without it
hallow quest
even without
errant pelican
yea well it still might cause damage to you as a person
or ur battery
honestly just

I recommend the Vifly Shortsaver 2
hallow quest
cause they might not want to return it

I recommend the Vifly Shortsaver 2
i bought the iflight one
no idea if its good
hopefully i dont have to find out
hallow quest
i can recommend any lab bench power supply with a current limit (:

I also have the iFlight smoke stopper, but yeah I don't really want to start messing with it too much in case I can't return it afterwards
hallow quest
no multimeter?
livid fox
Hopefully be able to pick up a multimeter today
livid fox
Multimeter acquired! It passes the continuity test
