All my wires have been soldered and covered with the shrink wrap and I don't see how a short could happen at this point.
Are there other reasons this wire could be getting hot enough to melt the insulation?
My battery is a 3 cell 5000mAh battery which I charged up to 4.2 V per cell (12.6V) which I believe I had read is the maximum voltage for Lipos. So I don't believe that the batter is somehow supplying to much current.
I am currently using the Power Module (supplied by 3DR) between my battery and the power distribution board. I read that the "To APM" connection between the APM and PDB is still required for grounding purposes between the APM and the ESCs.
This melting had not occured on my first PDB; and this is my second PDB (replacing the old one which the wires had broke off).
I've verified that my inputs and outputs are correct. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening.
Any help to shed light on what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated. I'll provide any pictures or info to help quickly resolve this.
Thanks,
-Riley
