Naze32 LED problem
#1
Help! I hook up my quad with a naze32 FC with the USB to cleanflight. The led strip works like its suppose to. 

As soon as i plug the battery in, the LED strip changes to whatever it wants and its still hooked up to cleanflight. By itself with battery the led strip still does what it wants. Anyone have any ideas whats causing this?

Yes! The leds need 5.00 VOLTS AND NO MORE!! HAD the same problem. Had to power the FC with adjustable 5v. To just under 4.9.
Its to do with difference between the 3.3volts the LEDs have to have and the volts from the FC.

If it is to high then thats what happens. It took me 2 evenings to sort it out!!!

Another easy way to fix: Use a schottky glass-type diode (i.e. 1n4148) on the 5V line to the LED, the diode lowers the voltage for the LED. Works fine that way.
