Is my wiring fried

[half vine]

I was testing out my wiring and plugged in my battery when my esc got lowkey pretty damn hot then i realized i didn’t plug them into the pix am i cooked? Also can someone check the rest of my wiring

[deep reef]

the solder job looks really bad. you need to practice that
but nothing looks out of order. maby have the motors connected.
and remove the red wire from the servo plugs. those are from the BEC, supplying 5V back to the FC and they might be fighting each other

[half vine]

yeah my soldering is crap alr alr ill try with mototrs connected

[half vine]

what do you mean by removing the red wire from the servo plugs

[fathom mauve]

You generally dont want to do any electronics without even the most basic multimeter. They're super cheap and even I, someone who's pretty experienced at soldering, use them to tripple check my work
That being said, I don't see any obvious shorts. But do keep in mind that most modern PCBs will use a ground plane, aka any space that's not used up by traces will generally be grounded, so you may have to watch out for shorts with that

[deep reef]

the black/red/white wires plugging into the pixhawk

[half vine]

alr alr ill get one

[half vine]

im kinda slow, are youd talking abt this part and also how would i take that out

[deep reef]

yes. those 3 plugs. when you look on the side of the connector you'll see tiny plastic tabs holding down the metal connectors inside. you can lift those tabs and then pull on the wire.
fold them back and put electrical tape around them or just cut them off if you're not planing to have servos

[half vine]

alr alr bet i am

thanks for the help guyzz

[half vine]

also i should do this for all of them right

[deep reef]

yes, or leave one

[half vine]

including the one on the reciver?

[deep reef]

no, that's the power supply for the receiver

[half vine]

bet

[tranquil plank]

what made u choose flysky?

in general that receiver is gonna be way worse, on a worse protocol, be heavier, and be more expensive than an elrs receiver

[deep reef]

beeing in india did 😉

[tranquil plank]

fair enuf lol

[bleak dawn]

Uhm

No?

Even I'm in India
But I dint go with that gunk
And before u say it..
My budget was so low I had to wait 6 months after getting my RM pocket to buy my first quad

[deep reef]

then your teacher did. who, if he weren't in india, would have picked a radio control that isn't 15 years old

[half vine]

Cheepest thing i saw on amazon 😓 (im new and hate long shipping times)

"Many Indians prefer the cheapest option, then spend twice the effort fixing it. It’s classic jugaad — clever, but not always smart. Changing this mindset? Nearly impossible."

[half vine]

Real talk

Although i dont live in india but i thought it was funny yall assumed that like cmon i can make bad decisions in america too gng

[deep reef]

usually a pixhawk and flysky rx is a clear indicator for india. along with a F450 frame. you're the first guy where that didn't fit

[bleak dawn]

pixhawk aint pad
they go for kk2.1.5

[bleak dawn]

i wish they stop the f405 frame
a entire f405 cheap quad is like 25k(inr) or 300$
for the same price u can get a tiny whoop setup

[bleak dawn]

yea i have seen many people buy the flysky radio
i wish they stop making it
it might work for fixed wings(close range)
but for a quad its just baddddd

[half vine]

What do yall recommend

[bleak dawn]

for?

radio?

small budget rm pocket with elrs
good budget boxer
zorro is also nice
if your into long range fixed wings/ quads and u want telemetry and stuff on your radio, the tx16 is very useful

[half vine]

Yea

[half vine]

Alr alr

[void oasis]

anything from radiomaster/jumper

gx12 is their newest thing, and probably their nicest thing

[half vine]

im tryan keep it under like 70 or close to 60 is this a good option?

i think its what the other guy suggested

[tranquil plank]

are u in the us?

[safe ginkgo]

He is

[safe ginkgo]

You gotta get batteries too, gonna be around 100
