Need some help with Matek 5 in 1 PDB setup
#1
So I have a new build going and am using the Matek 5 in 1 PDB.   I can power up with a 3s battery and the ESCs all power up just fine.   However, when I connect the wires from the PDB (signal, hot, and ground), to the Naze32 (ESC #5) the PDB beeps constantly.   

Here is how I understand I can set this up:    I have a 3 way toggle switch on my Taranis set to Channel 5 coming into my D4R2 rx.   I have verified that it is working.   The Matek instructions say to plug the PDB into the Aux1 channel.   So now I need to set ESC #5 to Aux 1 so I can toggle the PDB.   

The config part I should be able to figure out, but I can't figure out why I get the constant beeping.

Just a thought here..Is the Low voltage alarm set too high at present for the current state of your test lipo?

Yes, I checked that.   I am getting 12.48 volts from my lipo.   The low voltage alarm is set to 3.6

Have you gone ahead and configured ESC #5 as AUX1? Then if it's beeping couldn't you just reverse the channel in your Tx?

I actually enabled gimbal/pan and then connected to the ESC #1 as described in this post:  http://intofpv.com/t-setting-up-matek-5i...red-device


But if you could show me how to configure ESC #5 to Aux 1 that would be great.

According to the manual, you can set the voltage for this.
