[SOLVED] Wired it up wrong! I'm an idiot

After reading the instructions on assembly more than once I still managed to not alternate the wires when i soldered it up :oops: luckily i noticed before i fired it up otherwise it would have span out of control!

Do I have any other options other than unsoldering M2 & M4 and swapping the wires round? it was a SOB to solder if the first place. I've ordered some solder wick anyway but it won't be here till the middle of the week. What an idiot!

Hi,

Unfortunately your only option is to de-solder the wires, switch them and solder them back in place. My method for doing this is similar to what's done in our first assembly video. Fasten the PCB upright, heat on one side and pull/insert the wire from the other side.

All rewired and flying! Well crashing. Throttle is very sensitive

You could try to adjust the slew rate/limit. I tested these setting and they were pretty good. Just remember to push the emergency stop if you crash since the motors will continue to spin for a while.
