H101 Brushless Mod (under construction)

Some pictures of the end-result

Here you see the flashing port (machine pins female) for Silverware and on the left the 5 pin Plug (I used 2mm pitched socket boards) for the 4 ESC servo wires and GND

Part List:

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
  1. Assemble the Feet on the Main Plate
  2. Desolder all wires from the ESCs
  3. Mount the power distribution board (PDB) on the main plate (didn't use that reinforcing plate)
  4. Mount all 4 motor
  5. Mount all ESCs on the arms
  6. Cut down the motor wires to the required length (or wiggle them around somewhere. Cut down wires are a pain to solder as they used enameled copper wire
  7. Solder motor wires to the ESCs
  8. Solder Power wires to the PDB
  9. Take 5 adders from the IDE cable and solder 4 of them to the ESC's Servo signal point
  10. 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)
  11. Solder the other end to the plug /socket boards you selected
  • Preparing the FC
  1. Disassemble the H101, Desolder the Motors. You can later use the Top Shell for your individual Quad's Style
  2. Solder wires to CLK, DAT and GND
  3. Solder the Flash Plug to the Wires
  4. Desolder all 4 Caps on the motor arms
  5. replace them with the resistors
  6. 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 not to work) or simply use GND and the Wire next to GND from the Balancer Port of your 2S/3S battery
  7. Take another 5 IDE wires and solder them to GND, and all 4 Motor “-” Pads of the FC
  8. The other end to the correponding Plug which plugs the ESCs later
  9. Power up the FC
  10. Flash Silverware with this drv_pwm file (replace the original one) or use The complete prepared Silverware Version I used (May need some changes for your individual feeling and may not be up-to-date)
  11. Mount The FC on top of the PDB, use some tape to cover the cunducting parts of the PDB (I used 3 sites of double sided Tape, for a little bit of vibration protection
  • Finish
  1. Solder 5 Jumper wires to another, same sized plug that the FC has for plugging in the ESCs
  2. Prepare BLHeli Box (Just flash it using BLHeli Suite)
  3. Plug in the ESCs to the Jumper wires, plug the other end to the BLHeli-Box I used this wiring.
  4. Check every wiring - for safety use something like this current limiter
  5. Power Up the ESCs
  6. Flash latest BLHeli_S version (All 4 ESCs together)
  7. Set up ESCs like This (You can play with the values of course, atm I use “High” Timing
  8. Unpower the Quad
  9. Plug ESCs to FC
  10. Assemble Top Plate
