    Hello Alex,

    If your using the v1.4 APM you will need to power the rx with a battery as the power from the usb is isolated from the rx / servo power lines. If using the 1.0 APM then the usb power will be enough to power a rx, don't plug in a battery and the usb if you are using v1.0 APM, you will damage the board!

    Regards
