0 Hello,
I have a 4 in 1 racerstar ESC that has orange, yellow, green, and blue wires. It is wired with its black and red wires to the PDB. I have the Omnibus F4 AIO OSD 5V BEC flight controller. I want to connect them. The information for the flight controller says this
M1-M4 : ESC Power Cable
V+ & V-: ESC's "+" & "-"
On the board, it looks like m1 through m4 are the large holes at the corners. But the wires from the ESC are tiny. Is that where they connect and what is the ESC plus and minus

0 Thank you. I really appreciate it.
What are the red and black arrows.
The ESC is already wired to the PDB on the drone. And the PDB has the plug for the battery. The video transmitter and camera are also wired to the PDB. Should I unwire that PDB and use this FC by itself

118 You definitely do not need a PDB since the FC and the ESC both have a built in PDB.

118 You have added a PDB but its not required with the Omnibus F4 AIO.
Please redo the 5v pad soldering. You should properly twist the wire and not have loose strands as it can cause a short.

0 16-Nov-2021, 12:17 PM (This post was last modified: 16-Nov-2021, 12:27 PM by DragonTheta.) I will redo the soldering. Thank you I appreciate it. So I don't need the PDB. Would it be better to remove it, or is it better to use it anyway now that it's already wired to the camera, video transmitter and ESCs

0 When I remove the dedicated PDB and rewire it as you suggest what will I attach the battery plug to? Right now the battery plug is attached to the PDB and I don't see a spot for it on the FC.

118 You need to attached the Xt60 via 14 to 16 AWG wires to the B+ and B- pads on the FC.
