> You can install BL-Ctrl1.2 or BL-Ctrl2.0. The assembly is identical.<
> The BL controllers are mounted in the recesses of the distribution board and connected by wire bonds.<
> /!\ The top of the distribution board is marked with "+".<
><
> == Arrangement of the BL controller == The BL-controllers are arranged as shown here in the distribution board (clockwise BL-Ctrl Nr. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8). <
> '''The processors and the solder connections for the motor have to show up at all controllers.'''<
> <
> /!\ Also the (red)BL-Ctrl1.2 can be installed in the power distribution. The BL-Ctrl1.2 for the number 5-8 have a [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=397|Special Software]]! In the shop, the BL-Ctrl with the special software have a white dot on it. <

Then the 10+6-pin connector to the NaviCtrl can be inserted easily.<
> == Assembly of the Molex connector == For this purpose you should use a fine tip. The first one is a solder pad on the distribution board and solder then Molexbuchse fixed thereto. This is to cater to the remaining contacts are soldered. <
><
> /!\ The contacts may have no connection with each other! '''The FlightCtrl is connected over the Molex socket with power, I2C-bus and the Buzzer.''' <
> <
> {i} Tip: Excess solder can be removed perfectly with solder wick. If the mounting of the Molex socket fails, the PCB can be gently heated from the bottom with a heat gun and the socket be released.<
