Update on My FC Project: Components Ordered, Soldering Plans
Current status for my FC project. All components and PCBs are ordered.. now its a waiting game.
Still undecided how I m going to solder the components onto the PCB. But most likely I m going to use a hot plate / heat gun combination..

This is a project I'm looking forward to. Thanks for all the check-ins.
I hope I get time to do something like this myself in the future.
In the meantime, I will enjoy your project instead 😂

That's depends a lot on what features you choose.. e.g. copper thickness, which material the layers in-between the copper layers are made of, if it's colored pcb (e.g. red) etc.... i have chosen to have a 6 layer PCB which when done is blue, I also increased the outermost copper layers to 2 oz and ordered a stencil with it ( for soldering later) regular price would be around 85 euro for 5 PCBs but as a new customer you get coupons which brought it down to 50 Euro.. including shipment.. so quite a reasonable price for 5 PCBs.. the more expensive part is sourcing the components which were around 90 euro including shipping but I decided not to go with cheap Chinese knockoffs or sample books... Instead all but one component comes from mouser. The at7456e which handles osd informations was not available in Europe..

@M4R5_FPV hmmm, i mean, if you build a lot of drones your own FC might make sense. 😂 nice.

But for a "can I do it" project it is definitely worth it as I learned a lot already

Awesome work! I guess you can make it cheaper by creating hd version with no OSD chip. Boot button can be removed too, I have zero cases for years where I need a button on FC. USB can be replaced with cheap jst connector in case you planning to make more versions/units so you need single adapter for all of them...

Thanks! I was thinking a lot about such things in last few weeks. 😉 I didnt want to remove the OSD IC because I m flying analog and digital. USB just because ease of use instead of fiddly jst connector. etc.. overall I could make it cheaper in multiple ways but decided not to go the cheapest route..
