Although ive been working with long endurance UAVs for a while now im new to the whole quad game and ive just bought my second batch of parts for my new quad. Ive decided to go with a Crius AIO Pro flight controller and it works great but I cant get power from my power dist. board (this one) to the Crius. Looking at pinout diagrams of my FC ive wired it like so, but still no power to the FC: Heres the pinout diagram: What am I doing wrong? Any help would be wonderful
Remove jumper J1, from the instruction manual cut and pasted below.... The yellow jumper must be removed if you’re using the extended power, The serial ports are not powered if the jumper is left on and the board is powered by the esc, you have to take power for the serial port from else where, It is also advised that all but one of the red wires be removed from the esc servo plugs, I have removed the jumper from my board and soldered 2 header pins in to the extended power port, and plugged a 3a Ubec in to it, This powers the whole board and all ports and is in my opinion the best way to power the AIOP Mutli
Ah okay thanks I didnt even see my jumper because its black and where do you take your ubec power from? I thought about soldering it onto the leads from the battery goin into the pdb
Generally I take all power to different devices from a distribution board (depending upon needs / power requirements) . Just make sure your devices can accept the available voltage in, some devices will not accept more than 3 cell lipo power.
