0 Correct voltage through a Flight Control board Posted by Iceman on March 6, 2015 at 10:32pm Hi guys....I don't understand how Quadcopter enthusiasts are running 3S 11.1 V and upward Lipo batteries on 4 - 6V flight control boards. Do these boards step the input voltage from the Lipo down ?Thanks ! You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments! Join diydrones Email me when people reply – Follow

No, You either need a voltage controller unit that measures the voltage and current coming from the battery like this one:

Or you take your power from the BEC's on the ESC's. Each ESC outputs 5 volts at about 1 or 2 amps.
