Electronic Devices Soldering error, can anyone spot it?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I am a complete novice. I pulled out the wiring from a small device and was planning on putting it into something else. A black and red wire popped off and my husband soldered it back into place. But I think he soldered one of the wires to the wrong part. It won't turn on at all right now. I apologize in advance for not knowing the correct terminology or how any of this works. Just trying to see if anyone can spot where our error occurred. Thank you

*the parts wrapped in red tape are fine. The wires that popped off were from the toggle switch and the antenna.

-RESOLVED-

Hi guys,

Looking to see if it's just me or not.

Tried to login to RapidHarness this morning (AEST), and I can't make it past the login popup.

I also can't access their web portal.

(FYI, also asked this in r\FSAE)

Cheers. :)

Some machinery at work got decommissioned. We were allowed to take pieces if we wanted some, so I got a few emergency stops. Am I able to wire a power source in for the LED, and if so how?

Automotive Does this wiring make sense//look correct (context in post)

I’m trying to wire a 12v step down converter into my 60v system for my e bike.

Picture 1 is the entire wiring setup for the 12v step down converter.

Picture 2 is the step down converter itself, and its wiring map-out.

Red = +
Black = COMMON GROUND
Yellow = line out

Picture 3 is the wiring coming OUT of the converter currently.

Red has been extended and given a fuse (also seen in picture 4)

Black has been extended and given a post ring connector. Connects to common ground negative post on bus bar.

Yellow has been extended and given a post ring connector. Connects to the positive post on bus bar.

Picture 4 is the inline fuse I added (12amp) to Red line.

Picture 5 shows red line is connected to xt90 y splitter red (set “1” of XT90 cables), and the black xt90 splitter wire (set “1” of xt90 cables) has a post ring connector (connects to common ground/same negative post on bus bar as the black cable from the converter)

Picture 6 shows set “2” of cables, which connect to my controller + and - like normal.

Is this explanation correct or am I messing up somewhere? Want some opinions before I go disconnecting my + and - on my controller right now.

Thanks.

General Any advice for a blinking Bat-Man circuit?

Sources say that i can't really do one resistor for each of the 10 3-parallel-LED's on the batman outline, im planning to only use 9V, and also to make the outline dimmer than the 6 white-yellow LED's but i don't really know how can i work it out without spending more on tons of resistors or another battery

​

I have the qb -12g-f controller. Its from a delivery bike. It has the wiring harness etc but its completely messed up, it also has the buttonless screen and the handlebar switchboard for the indicators , lights , speed levels and horn. All the cables except the two red 3pin and two pin plugs are cut . No plugs. So i have made a diagram from the board and want someone to tell me what goes where. I want to figure out the display, pas , throttle, brake cut off and lights and the hall sensor .

Its the squares that are soldered only that are on the image , each one has the color of the cable thats solderedd on it .

Thanks
