CC3D... hard to kill.

[Sweet Pickle]

Trying to get the CC3D board working with SBUS cable last night and noticed the dreadind burning smell accompanied by the magic smoke. Wasn';t best pleased as I could see nothing wrong. Sufficed to say it seemed dead in the water.
Only a cheap board but the tinkerer in me wouldn';t let it go without a fight so just had another look in the cold light of day. Flipped the board over and traces were shot left and right. Strips of copper like little ginger curly hairs everywhere. Broke out the soldering iron and performed some emergency surgery. Low and behold it';s alive. It';s raining cats and dogs out there but I just hovered it in the bedroom and all is well with the world..... SBUS / CPPM not working however.

Nice save there! I usually give up when magic smoke comes out!

Have you been through the Rx setup wizard?

Indeed I did.

Swapped it back to my practice quad rather than keep it on the little 250. For some reason I couldn';t trim down the throttle enough on that and it wouldn';t arm unless throttle was at zero. Zeros out just fine on the old 450.
