Wiring diagram for APM + 6S battery + Attopilot

Posted by Hugues on October 8, 2013 at 10:28am

Hi,

I plan to wire my X8 octo so:

3691067619?profile=original

As I must use the attopilot sensor (because I exceed the 3DR power module capacity of 90 amps), I am worried that connecting the ground wire of the attopilot module to the APM will create a ground loop with the existing ground wire connected between the SBEC and APM.

has anyone experience on this ?

    Given the short lengths of wire, ground loops should not be an issue.

    A couple other things from your diagram:

    -The switching regulator for the APM should connect to the Output ports, rather than the input.

    -The ground from the ESC's should connect to the Output ports too.

    -The JP1 jumper on the APM should be present if using the Output ports for power.
