Today I worked on the drone frame. Is started soldering the bullet connectors to the ESC wires, and the PMU to the power distribution board. I wasn't able to get the PMU wires on today because I was having trouble with the soldering iron not getting hot enough. I was using Mr. H's soldering iron today, but tomorrow I'm going to try and use the regular red ones, because they have more surface area so more heat can be transferred. The bullet connectors were really easy to solder on, but the ground (black) in the ESC wires is a weave around the positive (red) so I had to cut that off so that I could separate the wires. Next class I'm going to solder black wires onto the weave of grounding wires around the beginning of the plastic part of the wire. Next class I also want to work more on the soldering so that next week I can start programming the controller.
