Temporary power to APM.

Posted by Chris Wildey on December 30, 2013 at 2:21pm

 

Which is the correct place to supply power to the APM board from a Bec while I check the 3dr radios, and should the jumper be in place or not? Please.

    @Chris,

    You can power the APM on the receiver input power bus rails. If you are not planning on driving any servos during your testing, then you can leave jumper J1 off. I would not recommend powering the APM servo output power bus (J1 installed) with either the PM or a BEC on the APM receiver input power bus rail.
