New 3DR Kit PDB Issues?...

I received my 3DR kit yesterday and began assembly this morning.  I noticed that there are differences between the PDB I recieved and the one pictured in the 3dr instructions.  The new board has no motor indicators and the positive and negative side seem reversed.

 

I started soldering mine exactly like the photo shows on pg 1 but as you get to pg 3 the nomeclature seems to have changed

 

See Pics and please advise.

  • Hey Adam,

    I got the same PDB as you. The way I interpreted the instructions is the you start with the 2-pin harness and solder it the the corresponding +ve and -ve terminals of which ever motor you like. This will then be your motor 1. You then get your 4-pin harness and start by soldering the orange cable in the "S" hole on motor 1. Then you just copy the sequence shown in the picture.

    I don't think it's too much of a problem that the holes are in different positions to the PDB they show in the picture because the circuit still does the exact same thing (I think :) )

    Hope this helps.

  • That's odd.  I received my kit on Dec 27th and mine looks nothing like yours.  While my PDB is different than the picture in the instructions, it's clearly marked.  I have run into some other issues with discrepancies from the documentation though.  Just not with the PDB.
