Powering the ArduPilot board with Shield

Posted by Kelly Aoki on February 3, 2011 at 5:15pm

I have been trying to get the code loaded into my ardupilot board.  I have been using a shield with it but for some reason i can get the code to load without the shield, but not with it on.  I think i may be unsure about how the power is supposed to be connected.  If I use the shield, where am i supposed to connect the battery? Should the power be int he shield, or should i power the shield through the main board?

 

THANKS

Kelly

    You power the shield through the RC connectors on the main board. The power should come from an ESC, not directly from a battery.
