0 03-Dec-2016, 08:18 PM (This post was last modified: 03-Dec-2016, 09:01 PM by Gorgeousguy.) Ok guys! I need your expertise. I'm almost done my first build. Zmr180. I have soldered everything but I can't figure out how to connect the pdb to the FC. I have some pics. I hope you can figure out what I have done. All solder is good checked by volt meter I can't figure out how to post pics. Says the pic is to big

0 I have a naze32 rev5 Matek mini hub w/bec5v & 12v. That's what's on the bag. I'm real sorry that I don't know how to post pics.

http://d1b5yzykmxw6e8.cloudfront.net/cat...b-lead.jpg take +5v and ground from (top right corner of the picture i've linked) it and connect to naze on bottom of the picture where you have + and - signs

presolder the pdb pads to have tin on them.
then presolder the cables, either both sides if you are going to do direct solder to pins/pads or you will be going for the pin connections then on one end you will have pin conector (female) and on other presoldered cable.
(ensure no power is in the system (bettery/usb))
solder wire to pdb, connect or solder the wire to naze... and you should be good (ensure no shorts, using multimeter)
All the best

0 Thank you so much! Everything has power. Motors turn with use of clean flight. Just can't figure out why there is no power from the 2x5 pins? For the rx. All solder seems fine

9 Which 2x5 pins do you mean? Did you have check the power with a voltage meter?

0 The pins that connect to the rx. No I didn't test with a voltage meter. I will do that when I'm back from work. I do know I have power to the board from the 5v

15 05-Dec-2016, 01:04 PM (This post was last modified: 05-Dec-2016, 01:05 PM by Grisha0.) yes you should see the power on this connector (2x5 - naze for pwm/ppm/sbus/lets/gps etc)
on that you should have gnd, +5v, chan 1 (ppm) as output... question is are you using the ppm / pwm or sbus/ibus?
if for any reason the +5v pad or ground is damaged, steal the power from any other +5 and ground areas and you should be good.
on your second pic you should have "nothing pin" - ground, "." pin - +5v, "1" pin - signal for ppm, if you are using ibus/sbus you should use pin 4 if i remember correctly.
All the best
