Review on ๐Ÿบ Wolfwhoop PW-D Control Buck Converter: Efficient 6-24V to 5V 1.5A Power Inverter Volt Stabilizer by Doug Hinrichsen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great fix for a blown 5v regulator on an Eachine bin

I blew the 5v regulator on an Eachine bin after switching to the XT30 battery connection (and didn't add a capacitor because I didn't know I could do it needed one). There is a YouTube video about it and how to fix it. For installation I cut off the connectors from this voltage converter and soldered the wires to the F4 controller. (Voltage side where the battery connector goes in and 5V side where the LED strip gets soldered.) Works great so far, about 20 flights. Directly on top of the F4 board (below the VTx) there wasn't enough room for this device so I placed it on top of the VTx board between the antenna and the back of the camera. The long leads on this converter help with this placement. It's very light (maybe a few tenths of a gram). The trash can flies great again.
