Power Drone with Smoke stopper

[kindred turret]

I just finished soldering and plugged it in with a smoke stopper, which of course opens the circuit when I disarm due to the inrush current to the motors, how do I check for shorts where I soldered the motors?

[grand latch]

I haven't done soldering with motors yet since I'm lazy, but do you have a multimeter?

I've used that to test for shorts since I don't have a smokestopper yet

[proven sand]

do you know how a smoke stopper works?

[kindred turret]

yes its a PPTC that detects overcurrent and temporarely dramatically increases its resistance to stop the current flow

[proven sand]

Correct. If there was a short at the motors, the smoke stopper would open immediately upon the battery being plugged in

The motors spinning will draw enough current to trip it anyway. If you plugged it in the first time and it didn't trip, that's its job done
