make sure all the apps are closed in the background…that worked for me a few times but the phone app through blue tooth is buggy as hell, never got it work 100%. PC through USB is solid. One time i tried airplane mode then just turning blue tooth on…one other time i deleted all my blue tooth devices both of those worked a couple of times but it always stops working after a few connects.

not an issue per se, but a question
without any investigation beforehand, i mounted my unity with thermal paste to this plate and then mounted the plate ontop of the aluminium bottom of my enclosure (also with thermal paste)
does that even make sense, can the unity disipate heat from below ? im just curious, its too late anyways

I’m not!
not in the slightest
Karma doesn’t work retroactive.
This was before the bulk buy

Paste glue or wet paste.
They all will work.
And never a bad idea. All of my unity builds have extra aluminum. I’m 269 lbs geared up, and don’t want to heat up on San Francisco hills

don’t forget to post about your misfortunes… I delight on the misery of others!

did you check with the app what kind of temps the unity gets on average ?
Yes this makes sense to mount the heatsink with good thermal bonding to additional metal. Especially if that metal makes contact with external moving air.

it does, and since its primary purpose is to act as a shield for sliding down sidewalks and over speedbumps the surface becomes better for cooling eventually 
good to know that this makes sense, thanks for chiming in!

I don’t need help. I can handle my own.

Mostly great! The one on the far right looks not-so-shiny, but unlikely to be a cold joint. Also, I usually twist the exposed stands together by turning in one direction before soldering.

does anyone know of some type of soldering practice kit…or any tips on what I can use to practice soldering on pads
one thing check your wire stripper for depth of cut… it appears that you’re cutting a few wire strands when stripping the insulation… and follow @malJohann suggestion about wire twisting, and tin the wire before soldering… all the joints look acceptable… the one on the right, Mal mentioned looks like you ran out of flux… flux is your friend!
