RC wiring

Posted by Vincent Mees on September 27, 2010 at 11:31am

Having no RC background, I hope to get some answers on the following questions.

 

-How is the RC receiver powered in the Arducopter setup when following this . Is the receiver powered through the APM?

 

-I read that you have the choice of powering APM & IMU with the regulated 5V from one ESC or a seperate BEC. If I chose the ESC. is this directly connected on an output? (All ESC's connect to the output of the APM)

 

Thx

    Good point. Not having seen the electronics for real yet, It's difficult to answer. I did find some hints on rcgroups about the receiver being wired to the battery directly, but I can't imagine that's correct.
    As far as the APM&IMU being powered from the ESC: on the beta frame documentation page (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arducopter-beta-frame), there are some clear pictures, but I can't figure out how the wiring works exactly.
