Can I use an APM 2.5 without the Power Module?

Posted by Jimmy Prouty on May 16, 2013 at 8:14pm

Hi All,

I've misplaced my power module and would like to know if it's possible to use my APM 2.5 without it until I can get another one in. Is it possible? How do I power the servos and APM?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes. You just need to use the power from the internal BEC in your ESC. Just by connecting it to the board you connect it. You do need to add JP1 jumper. It should have been supplied in a small bag with your APM2.5
