PART 04: ATTACHING MOTORS TO PCB
Build Mambo
Step 1: Motor Wire Connections
Attach the motor wire to the corresponding port on the PCB as pictured. Note the motor wire connects to the port furthest away. Make sure the [2] gold circles at the end of the wire are facing upwards when attaching to the PCB. Press firmly down at the end of the wire and click securely into place. Lightly pull on each wire to ensure they are attached properly.
Hint: If this is your first time connecting motor wires, you might want to attach the wires from the rear motors first. Because they don't have to curve back, they are a little easier to install than the ones from the front motors.
Step 2: Motor Wire Placment
Tuck each motor wire into its corresponding channel on the airframe. It is helpful to use the flat side of the tweezers to ensure the wire is properly embedded.
Step 3: Antenna Placement
Insert the antenna wire into the hole located next to the antenna on the airframe.
Airfoil
A body (such as an airplane wing or propeller blade) designed to provide a desired reaction force when in motion relative to the surrounding air
Airframe
The Airframe is the main body of the drone that every other component attaches to
Anti-Clockwise [A]
Anti-Clockwise (or Counter Clockwise) [A] motion is one that proceeds in the opposite direction as a clock's hands
Battery
Energy source used to supply power to the drone
Clockwise [C]
Clockwise [C] motion is one that proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands
Firmware
Firmware is permanent software programmed into a read-only memory
Gimbal
The mechanism that allows for different position of the camera on the drone
Micro-USB
a miniaturized version of the Universal Serial Bus interface which enables the direct charging of the drone's battery
Motor
A motor is powered by electricity that supplies motive power for moving parts
PCB
A Printed Circuit Board is a board design with a base board and copper traces to maintain connectivity between electronic components such as LED's, integrated circuits, and resistors for your devices
Propeller Twist
A differece in angle between the blade at its tip, and at the point where it meets the propller hub
Propellers
Mechanical device for propelling an aircraft or boat, consisting of a revolving shaft with two or more broad, angled blades attached to it
