All in One PCB

1 & 2 are connected on the Cytron pcb, so they’re the same thing.

Is the freewheel mod done on my board or do I need to do something with PWM2 on the main board?

Your Cytron has the free wheel mod on it. Your PCB probably needs the pwm2 free wheel mod fix to send the correct signal to the Cytron

Your PCB needs modding, the one below is fixed, look at the trace gong to PWM2.

I can’t seem to find a description or details of what I still need to do to mine, can someone point me in the right direction? Is there anything else missing or wrong on this board?

After doing this does something need to come off the PWM2 hole on the board to either the cytron or somewhere else on the board?

Mine has the three pin header and I edge soldered those to the cytron. Where does that red wire run to?

As an alternative to cutting the trace, could I simply remove R48, similar to how I removed the components from the cytron? Or is the point of this to double the possible current accross?

That is seeming more right looking at the schematic. So now, my questions that remain are still the destination of that red wire, and how does one safely cut a trace? I’m no electronics heart surgeon…

After cutting the trace and adding a resistor, the new resistor goes from the Teensy PWM IO to the Cytron PWM2 pad and the old R48 is still needed to go from the Teensy PWM IO to the transistor that control the LOCK output FET.

I use a dremel with thin cutting wheel. You can also use an exacto knife, just take care to NOT slip and cut other traces or yourself!

Those 4 wires are the Cytron’s included wire/connector/jumper. I cut it in half, the solder them into the the 4 pads (dir, pwm1, gnd, pwm2) paying careful attention to the order/color of the wires and plug that into the Cytron instead of using the 3 pin header.

You can also use an external relay controlled by LOCK output instead of the free wheeling mod but seeing as you’re this far already, I would unsolder the 3 pin headers and use the wire/connector instead.

Thank you so much for your guidance. Imthink I’m following now.

on the Standerd board on which F9p does the xbee radio go if i am using LR for RTK?

The main/right/position f9p

I would like to understand this better. With the freewheel mod shouldn’t the NC on Cytron be connected to the PWM2 on the main board? And what happens under of that white connector coming to the 3pin HDR? Looking at the codes on boards I assume DIR-DIR, PWM-PWM1, skip NC and then GND-GND? And the white connector doesn’t skip NC hence the different order if using the connector wires? And the order of the pwm2 and gnd soldering holes on AIO B have changed from for example Kaupoi 4.1 Board to accommodate the use of that 3P HDR? Why the recommendation not to use that 3P HDR then?

Hi, yes I know I did a stupid thing and destroyed my citron, I’m waiting for a new one but I would like to see if this one works, I’m afraid that it may damage something, although I don’t see anything soldered together, tell me the safest way to check if the citron works so as not to damage the engine and pcb

(I did put a heart not because I like that you burnt it but it’s a way showing my condolences…)

I hope that sharing your mistake will help someone not to make the same.

Could it be that when you soldered that cable you managed to short some pins on that chip?

What is the soldered cable on the Cytron for?

Theoretically, it should not happen that my pins turned on somewhere, but you never know in such micro things

If you manage to break the soldering pads like I did, you can plug in here. (Free wheel)



Yes, it’s my PCB, I already have a new citron, I have to make a free wheel mod, am I missing something? I already have jumpers, or do I need to install something else under Cytron? I’m hoping for some advice
