Mini Quad Build > CC3D Atom Mount / OrangeRX Satellite R111XN

CC3D Atom with the 3.3v source for the satellite RX power source.
Epoxy wire strain relief.

Ground pad next to 3.3v left open for future bootloader flash jump.

CC3D Atom in the STL printed mount from Ebay.  STL mount required "working the plastics" to make fit.  Cutoff already there for 3.3v wire!
 
Note to self on STL PCB mounts: relieve all sharp inner corners.

OrangeRX Satellite with "test length" harness. Shorten later for correct length.

Mini Quad Build > Switching Receivers

After dealing with the OrangeRX R410X receiver DOA, I decided to order a LemonRX LM0039 receiver.
(Yes, going from OrangeRX to LemonRX, from a knock-off to a knock-off of a knock-off.)

The LemonRX LM0039 is an 8ch DSMX full nano, ~2.9g, dual diversity antenna with PPM.  And most importantly, it is easily available on Ebay in US.

LemonRX LM0039 here.

Still waiting for the OrangeRX satellite R111XN, but realized soldering the 3.3v source on the CC3D atom PCD is going to be challenging.

Mini Quad Build > OrangeRX receiver DOA

OrangeRX R410X receiver arrived DOA.
Youtube video for RMA return proof:


I don't know of any ~2g DSM2 receivers with CPPM, so I'll have to stick with OrangeRX.

I have a OrangeRX R111XN coming in because I found out the CC3D can run this satellite receiver as standalone. The R111XN is even smaller than the R410 with a single CPPM connection and it has a single antenna wire.  And it was available on ebay!

Look forward to installing it.
