Fireball Rev.

davidbitton opened this issue · 4 comments

The documentation shows a Fireball board at Rev. E. but the repo has Rev D. Thanks.

We had experimented with different type of LED drivers and issued revision E of the board. But the LED driver used in revision D proved to be optimal, therefore this revision was declared final.
Sorry for confusing, we are to update Figure 86 in the Hardware Manual.

Must the board be aluminum? Also, as you know, the LED modules are not available through retailers outside of China. Any reason why I can't revise it to be discrete red, green, and blue LEDs?

These LEDs are quite powerful, therefore good heat removal should be provided. So the aluminium PCB is better.
Of course, you are free to use any powerful discrete LEDs but you are to match them by the brightness in order to get appropriate colour mixes.

BTW, I was wondering if I can just make the bottom plate of an F450 the fireball PCB? The original F450s from DJI are PCBs, so no reason why I can't fab the fireball as an F450 bottom plate.
