Hey there...
Just a quick question about the Tornado FC ... is there any kind of manual or a Pic for the Pinouts? a other one is... if i wana use RGB LED's, the 500mAh Pololu is a bit week for it i guess... i guess it is possible to solder this one on it right? https://www.pololu.com/product/2831 |

Hi guys
Some pages back, few of you discussed about this light tx, did you tested it, it is a good tx? http://www.surveilzone.com/TS5828-58...FPV-SMA-g-1368 Thx |

For those wanting to shrink down the Immersion 600mW here is one way.
Carefully remove connectors |

I have used a Xacto razor saw to cut off connectors, multi-pin, SMA, etc. Then it is easy to de-solder the remaining pins. |

Get a Hacksaw Blade, grind the offset in the teeth flat so they are the same
as the rest of the blade thickness or slightly narrower. Use a grinder / linisher etc. Keep this in a safe place, once you have one you'll use it a LOT ! ( NOTE: Dip in water as you go,, Don't let it go blue or it will anneal, go soft. ) You now have a high quality tool that is as good as a File that does very fine cuts. Carefully saw 95% of the way through the 2 or 4 prongs (Gnd Tabs), then gently crack them without stressing the centre (active element wire) connector. Un-solder the active element and the whole thing should come away. You are just left with the stubs of the connector, which will easily come off now with a little heat and a wipe of the soldering iron. DON'T try the shortcut of snipping the prongs with cutters or you may shatter the tracks off the PCB. It will only be good as a paperweight then, and not a very good one at that Good Luck. BTW the same blade is ultra excellent for cutting slots into Foamies to add 1x3mm carbon reinforcing strips etc. It cuts like a LASER. Added: you don't need to do the entire length, just 3" to 4", 100mm or so. |
