Does anybody know where the fourth leg of the potentiometer is routed to? The pad it was soldered to was lifted from the pcb and I would like to run a wire directly to wherever it is
It is connected to one of the other legs on the other side, desolder it and you will find it, it's under the pot, cant remember exactly which pin,
and my gimbal is in the solo at the moment, this pot's are the first thing that gets knocked off in a crash and it makes the gimbal shake
and do some heavy metal head banging
Thank you, you're correct, I was hoping to avoid desoldering it completely, but needed the encouragement.
The potentiometer has a part number 5020N, but I couldn't find any info on it.
There's a trace to the middle leg on the opposite side which is odd because those two legs seem to be connected internally too. I added an external wire to connect them, not sure if it was needed but figured the PCB designer must have connected them for a reason as well. I traced them to pin 22 (ADC input) on the 80 pin package. One more issue with the gimbal to resolve and then I'll test it.
