I'm completing my first build. I just ordered a 5000mah and HXT4mm w/12AWG silicon wire 10cm (ESC side) to connect the battery to the power distribution board. My question is, how does the APM get powered? Wouldn't that only supply power to esc's an

I'm going to build 360 camera rig with 12 x Sony qx10 to take 360 aerial photograph.
The Gopro camera has fisheye distortion and not much good image quality as qx10 or qx100.
Also, it is cheaper than Gopro cameras. I'll make the rig with 3D print

Is there a way to invert the direction of the outputs for the aileron servos in arduplane?
