0 System power Posted by Julie Macfarlane on December 18, 2010 at 6:51pm Laying out the power diagram came across something I could not find.Can I tap the main battery to power the APU? You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments! Join diydrones Email me when people reply – Follow

Ok. Power from the ESC goes into the APM on the output side.
Power to the receiver comes from the last RC input.
So.. ESC to APM to RC correct?
(Tickets to the next launch are burning a hole in my pocket)
Now I understand the layout of the power board. Thanks :)
What's the "APU"?
The battery goes to the power distribution board, and one of the ESC's BEC provides power for the APM board.
