HI i just wanted to konw if you can power the RX while only under usb power? this would be useful for testing under HIL. but my RX does not get any power while under usb power. I am using a Futaba FASST recieverthanks

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!
