APM Power

 

Hi all,

I have a problem with feeding my APM. The APM does not work when connected to a 5V source. This can be seen in the following photo:3690862757?profile=original

However, I discovered that making a bridge between two of the three terminals of the APM's output, this works perfectly. In the second picture It is easy to see.

    Arg! You can't power APM that way!! PLEASE read the manual. You've got to either power APM through a power regulator (like an ESC) or through its onboard power regulator through the power pins after changing the solder jumper.  

     

    The way you've got it there is no power regulator at all. I'm surprised you didn't fry the board.
