solder plates on PDB
#1
Hi all... I have an HGLRC F4 V5Pro AIO Flight Controller.

I notice on the manual that the PDB has positive plates for all the ESCs on the top surface of the PCB and also a positive plate for 2 positive leads also on the bottom surface of the PCB - 
The signal point also goes all the way through both sides of the PCB. (negative plates are also the same configuration)

My question.  If I want to keep my wiring isolated by soldering two positives on top and 2 on the bottom surface of the PCB - which of the positive ESC leads do I use where? or are they interchangeable?

I've uploaded some screencaps of the manual and highlighted the plates in red pen...

Cheers
D

It doesn't matter. Battery positive is battery positive and all the positive wires from the ESCs will be connected directly to the battery. The same thing applies for the ESC negative wires.

Hi... Sorry bit late getting to this reply.

Thanks for the answer... it finally came to me that all I needed to do was test the continuity between top and bottom plates...

so for anyone else trying to nut this one out... 

Positive and negative plates do not have any continuity between top and bottom sides of the FC.  I'm taking the top of the FC as the side that has 8 plates in total for escs.

The esc signal plates on the other hand DO have continuity so you can connect the signal wires on either side of the FC.

Cheers

I can't imagine that you are not getting continuity from the negs on top and bottom. Or positives from top and bottom.

All positive ESC pads are at the same point electrically as well as the negative pads. You might want to check your meter.
I'd rather be flying!
