Display driverTo make soldering easy, we'll need to remove the display driver by unlocking the black plastic bar to release the ribbon cable. Use a panavise to hold the driver while soldering each wire as shown in the circuit diagram. |
Brightness button
Solder wires to the two pads as shown above. Careful not to bridge any connections by using a fine tip to solder.
FPV AV Receiver
Carefully tin and solder each wire for composite, composite negative, power, ground, band and channel buttons.
Adding TacWe couldn't fit standoffs in the compact enclosure, so mounting tac is used to hold the battery and powerboost in place. |
|
Mounting buttonsStraighten the pins on the buttons so the can fit through the slots inside the mounts. Use a flat plier bend to the pins. |
|
Tin buttonsMake sure the button pins poke through the slots and tin and solder each button. |
|
Solder PowerboostSolder each connection to the powerboost as shown in the circuit diagram.
Slide SwitchShorten the pins on the slide switch with a flush cutters and then tin and solder each wire. |
Add tac to the top of the battery to help level the display driver.
Insert into case
Make sure the clean the inside of the case of any filament left over from retraction before fitting the components inside. Carefully angle the display into the case as shown.
Add tac to the powerboost riser to mount the FPV receiver.
Antenna
Screw on the antenna to the receiver and tune to the channel the FPV camera is on the test the monitor.
Attaching display to controllerIf you plan to use the monitor on the controller, use #6-32 1/2 inch screws and nuts to attach the clamp parts to the antenna on the controller. |
