I connected the F3 to the computer, flashed the firmware and confirmed it all worked before starting the build, but then I failed to connect the F3 to the computer after each solder joint, so I don't know where things went wrong. After I was "done" I plugged in and got (blue LED plus) four fast red flashes, two slow flashes and two fast flashes. Obviously that means something!
OK, de-solder everything... I tried solder wick and sucker but the board is just too small to use either. With everything off the board, I connected it and get the blue LED, and the red one flashes slowly. In both cases I have only COM1 and "Manual Selection" where I had another one that worked when the board connected.
IS THERE A LISTING OF "FLASH CODES"? I registered on the EMAX site and asked them, but I'm not hopeful.
Is the general consensus that I let the smoke out? I could get another controller from Banggood, but I won't try this again until the 600x USB microscope arrives that I ordered! I have to order standoffs anyway to replace ones missing from the kit. If anyone has found a better controller to use (with OSD?) I might as well consider using something else too.
Does anyone who has built this thing have a digital temp control on their solder station? What was the successful temperature? I was at 725, using a needle tip. (even that felt like a tree trunk)
