 +(be aware that this build log is quite old, a few things in Silverware have changed now and are much easier to set up (the esc driver for example) 
 + 
 +PID section and BLHeli settings will be updated someday

 +For Silverware using Brushless ESCs refer to [[:more_brushless_setup_info|-> Brushless setup]]

 +  * [[http://www.banggood.com/Arduino-Compatible-UNO-R3-LCD-1602-Keypad-Shield-Kit-For-Arduino-p-952802.html|BLHeli-Box]] (The shielded UNO can be flashed to a BLHeli-Box using BLHeli-Suite) for flashing the ESCs and configure them in the field. (Can be USB powered) For using a Laptop, you need at least an Arduino Nano (or the box of course). Of course you can use a supported USB Linker Tool, too - watch [[https://github.com/4712/BLHeliSuite/raw/master/Manuals/BLHeli%20programming%20adapters.pdf|here]] 
 +  * Some wires, maybe [[http://www.banggood.com/120Pcs-20cm-Color-Breadboard-Jumper-Cable-Wire-Combination-For-Arduino-p-974006.html|Jumper Wires]] or an old IDE 40/80Pin Cable 
 +  * Time and patience 
 + 
 +**How I built it (sorry I did no pictures - in case I have to disassemble the quad sometimes, I'll hand them in later**) 
 + 
 +  * //Preparing the Quad// 
 +  - Assemble the Feet on the Main Plate 
 +  - Desolder all wires from the ESCs 
 +  - Mount the power distribution board (PDB) on the main plate (didn't use that reinforcing plate) 
 +  - Mount all 4 motor 
 +  - Mount all ESCs on the arms 
 +  - Cut down the motor wires to the required length (or wind them around somewhere. Cut down wires are a pain to solder as they used enameled copper wire 
 +  - Solder motor wires to the ESCs 
 +  - Solder Power wires to the PDB 
 +  - Take 5 adders from the IDE cable and solder 4 of them to the ESC's Servo signal point 
 +  - The 5th adder is for GND, I soldered it directly to GND on the PDB (Can cause problems, if yes, use direct GND wires for each ESC) 
 +  - Solder the other end to the plug /socket boards you selected 
 + 
 +  * //Preparing the FC// 
 +  - Disassemble the H101/H8S, Desolder the Motors. You can later use the Top Shell for your individual Quad's Style 
 +  - Solder wires to CLK, DAT and GND 
 +  - Solder the Flash Plug to the Wires 
 +  - Desolder all 4 Caps on the motor arms 
 +  - <del>replace them with the </del> <del>resistors</del>  Solder the resistors at the motor pads (better pad distance) 
 +  - I desoldered the Battery plug and used one with wires like H8 green board has, because I use My 1S Walkera Lipos. You can power up the FC with a step down at 4V (Causes Low power flashing/telemetry voltage not to work) or simply use GND and the Wire next to GND from the Balancer Port of your 2S/3S battery 
 +  - Take another 5 IDE wires and solder them to GND, and all 4 Motor "-" Pads of the FC 
 +  - The other end to the correponding Plug which plugs the ESCs later 
 +  - Power up the FC 
 +  - Flash Silverware with {{:wiki:h101_brushless:h101_-_drv_pwm_0.2_.zip|this}}  drv_pwm file (replace the original one) or use {{:wiki:h101_brushless:tarot_120.rar|The complete prepared Silverware Version I used}}  (May need some changes for your individual feeling and may not be up-to-date, it includes my PIDs though) 
 +  - Mount The FC on top of the PDB, use some tape to cover the cunducting parts of the PDB before (I used 3 sites of double sided Tape, for a little bit of vibration protection. Attend to mount it flat and perpendicular to the quad's roll and pich axis 
 + 
 +  * //Finish// 
 +  - Solder 5 Jumper wires to another, same sized plug that the FC has for plugging in the ESCs 
 +  - Prepare BLHeli Box (Just flash it using [[https://blhelisuite.wordpress.com/|BLHeli Suite ]](click on "make interfaces" and select Arduino Uno LCD 1602 version) 
 +  - Plug in the ESCs to the Jumper wires, plug the other end to the BLHeli-Box I used {{:wiki:h101_brushless:dsc01618.jpg?linkonly|this}} wiring. 
 +  - Check every wiring - for safety use something like [[http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2327875|this current limiter]] 
 +  - Power Up the ESCs 
 +  - Flash latest BLHeli_S version (All 4 ESCs together) 
 +  - Set up ESCs like {{:wiki:h101_brushless:blhelisuitesilabs_esc_setup_160718_1.png?linkonly|This}} <del>(You can play with the values of course, atm I use "High" Timing)</del>  For better motor revesing, use "medium" timing and Set startup power to at least 1.25 
 +  - Unpower the Quad 
 +  - Plug ESCs to FC 
 +  - Assemble Top Plate
