Current electrical revision: IceDrone V3.4

The older V1 sourcing list contained SS14 motor flyback diodes, 6.3 V bulk capacitors and a direct XIAO battery-input concept. Those values are obsolete for V3.4. Use the V3.4 requirements below.

Vorhandenes Aluminium-Elko-Kit (Werkstattbestand)

Auf dem am 2026-09-19 fotografierten 925Pcs / 36 Values Aluminum Capacitor Box Kit sind unter anderem folgende für V3.4 interessante radiale THT-Elkos vorhanden:

Kit-Wert Abmessung laut Box Bezug zu V3.4 Bewertung
470 µF / 10 V 6×7 mm entspricht C1 elektrisch nicht als finaler C1: radial/THT; Low-ESR nicht spezifiziert
100 µF / 25 V 6×12 mm möglicher C2-Wert elektrisch nicht als finaler C2: radial/THT; Low-ESR nicht spezifiziert
100 µF / 35 V 6×7 mm möglicher C2-Wert elektrisch nicht als finaler C2: radial/THT; Low-ESR nicht spezifiziert

Die höhere Spannungsfestigkeit bei C2 wäre elektrisch unkritisch; entscheidend sind aber Low-ESR-Eigenschaft und SMD-Footprint-Kompatibilität. Die V3.4-PCB-Anforderung bleibt deshalb:

  • C1: 470 µF / mindestens 10 V, low-ESR, SMD-Aluminium-Elko; bevorzugt Panasonic EEE-FP1A471AP (ca. Ø8×10.2 mm; passendes SMD-Land-Pattern vorausgesetzt).
  • C2: 100 µF / mindestens 10 V, low-ESR, SMD-Aluminium-/Polymer-Elko; mechanisch zum tatsächlich gefertigten PCB-Footprint passend.

Die radialen Kit-Elkos können bei Bedarf als temporäre Bench-/Messkondensatoren mit sehr kurzen Leitungen verwendet werden, sind aber kein 1:1-Ersatz für die vorgesehenen SMD-Bauteile auf dem Flug-PCB.

PCB first-article / reflow BOM

The custom 70×30 mm PCB and stencil are now physically available. The dedicated assembly list is bom/reflow_bom.csv and includes:

  • YIHUA YH-853AAA preheater/hot-air station;
  • V3.4 stainless stencil;
  • Sn42Bi58 low-temperature solder paste, 138 °C eutectic;
  • Kapton tape for the stencil hinge / thermocouple;
  • same-thickness FR4/old-PCB shims for an oversized stencil;
  • squeegee, ESD tweezers and magnification;
  • 99% IPA + lint-free wipes;
  • optional but strongly recommended K-type thermocouple;
  • no-clean flux and fine desoldering braid for rework.

See 11 - PCB Reflow Sn42Bi58 before applying paste.

AO3400A

The V3.4 motor stage uses AO3400A because it has low RDS(on) specified at low gate voltage. For the SOT-23 package use the manufacturer's pinout:

  • pin 1 = Gate
  • pin 2 = Source
  • pin 3 = Drain

For a perfboard prototype use a SOT-23 adapter or very short dead-bug leads.

Power components

D1-D4

Motor flyback diodes are SS34-class ≥3 A Schottky parts in V3.4. Prefer a 3 A / 40 V SMA (DO-214AC) device such as SS34 or B340A-class. The earlier SS14/1 A choice is not suitable for D1-D4 in V3.4.

The previously considered Amazon listing “Chanzon SS14, 1 A / 40 V, SMA (DO-214AC)” is currently unavailable and, independently of availability, is no longer the correct motor-flyback choice for this revision. SS14 remains electrically acceptable only for the lower-current D5 isolation position, provided its footprint matches.

C1 / C2

The available BEEYUIHF 925 pcs / 36-value low-ESR electrolytic assortment contains suitable electrical values for the two bulk capacitors:

  • C1: use 470 µF / 10 V from the kit.
  • C2: the kit does not list 100 µF / 10 V, but does contain 100 µF / 16 V. That is electrically acceptable and provides more voltage margin than required.

The manufacturer lists the kit as radial-leaded aluminum electrolytics. Therefore the mechanical footprint must be checked on the manufactured V3.4 PCB before installation. If the PCB uses an SMD aluminum-electrolytic footprint, these radial parts are not drop-in replacements and must not be forced onto the SMD pads.

The kit is not a source for C3 or the four 100 nF motor capacitors. Those are ceramic/non-electrolytic parts and remain separate BOM items.

D5 and boost converter

Raw 1S LiHV can reach 4.35 V. V3.4 therefore feeds the XIAO through:

VBAT → 1S→5V boost → D5 Schottky → XIAO 5V

Do not connect raw LiHV directly to XIAO 5V/BAT in this hardware revision.

Connectors and wire

Use Dupont/breadboard jumpers only for low-current signals/modules:

  • XIAO signal lines
  • GY-91
  • VL6180X
  • gimbal signal
  • boost control/sense wiring

Battery and motor current must use suitable wire and connectors such as BT2.0/JST-XH or equivalent.

Perfboard prototype

The temporary prototype uses a 70×30 mm perfboard. See:

The custom manufactured PCB is intended to replace the perfboard after first-article validation.

Sourcing note

09_AMAZON_ORDER_LIST_DE.md is a dated marketplace sourcing snapshot. Electrical requirements in this BOM and in 02_ELECTRICAL.md take precedence if the shopping list contains an older value.

Manufactured PCB verification (Eurocircuits first article)

The actual V3.4 B70 production documentation confirms a 70 × 30 mm, 2-layer FR-4 bare PCB with lead-free finish and electrical test. The production top-view also confirms the intended package families: AO3400A in SOT-23, D1-D4 in SMA/DO-214AC, a smaller D5 footprint in the SOD-123 class, 0603-class small passives, and two SMD aluminum-electrolytic can footprints for C1/C2 (approximately 8 mm and 6.3 mm body classes). Radial electrolytics from the BEEYUIHF kit are therefore not drop-in replacements for C1/C2.
