    Newbie Drone build help needed

    While waiting for that servo cable I'm trying top get the GPS connected properly, which don't seem to be going that well. I tried soldering the wireas to the FCB according to the schema in that previous post. The GPS lights up and I think it might be getting satellites, as the leds are blinking...

    Cool, thanks @wafflejock! Didn't know those servo cable were a std. thing, wasn't familiar with the term, I'll dig around and see if I can find one at home. As you say, will be easy to find otherwise. Regarding GPS. I got it because I want return to home, and as I have it I'll use it. More to...

    Thanks for the quick and extensive answer. I still suspect I'm missing something för the receiver. This servo cable you mention, för example? The only cable I have is the loop that in the picture in my previos post. I found this on youtube, see the pic called missingcable.jpg. That's the cable...

    Battery, PDB and FCB now connected up and from what I can understand from betaflight it all looks good. Next I'm thinking about connecting the GPS and the transmitter/receiver. As stated before I have a Radiolink M8N GPS Module and a Flysky i6X FS-i6X transmitter/receiver. Started to look at...

    Can someone please give me a few pointers on this? I need to know I do this right and not brake any boards. If I'd known there were bundles for this I would have gone that route. Next time... Thanks in advance!

    Hi again experts! I took me some time to get a connector cable for my Omnibus F4 V5 Flight Controller, but I now have it and trying to figure out how to connect the cables correctly to the Matek FCHUB 6S PDB. As far as I can figure it out I need to connect things as in my home made schema...

    Cool. I will order one of those cables so I can keep the setup I have already and just need to solder each of those wires to the PDB. Thx

    Newbie Drone build help needed

    Thanks, but I need to find another solution. After all I have a good FCB and a good PDB. Not motivated to put that extra monay on the table just to get a cable. But next time I will buy a combo, wish I had known about this optrion earlier. Thx

    This wouldn't be the kind of cable I need between the FCB and PDB? https://www.getfpv.com/8pin-jst-sh-4-in-1-esc-to-fc-cable-3cm.html I really need to find a cable if at all possible. It won't be optimal to extened cables etc., and I bet there will be more wires I need to connect between the...

    Thanks @Dugdog47. I soldered the signal wires to the PB due to instructions I found online, didn't realize I needed the ribbon clable (which I didn't know I don't have) for that approach. I'll just reconnect it to thje FCB instead, should be easy enough. Thanks!

    Newbie Drone build help needed

    Ok, I think I can do this. I just want to make sure I understand exactly what I need to do and why. So, I'm supposed to solder thin silicone wires from the PDB to the FCB. These wires will throughput signals from the FCB to the ECS's, via the PDB and the thin orange wires connected to the ECS's...

    Yes, for variuos resons I paused my build. But now it's getting done! Finally...hopefully. Thanks all for helping when needed. Right now I'm trying to figure out if there'äs a way to get hold of a ribbon cable with connectors to connect my Matek FCHUB-6S PDB to my Airbot Omnibus F4 V5 FCB?! I...

    Newbie Drone build help needed

    The pigtail is soldered on and when I connected ther battery two red led:s on the PDB lit up. I also gave away three quick beeps, twice. That's what's supposed to happen, right? I don't think I have that ribbon cable? Is that something that purchased separately? If so, which one do I need? Also...

    Newbie Drone build help needed

    Hi experts! I'm clearly going to need step-by-step advice on what to do here. I've now connected the engines and ESC's to the PDB. What do I do next? Should I try flashing my Omnibus omnibus f4 v5 with the latest firmware (I've installed Betaflight Win 10, STM driver and downloaded...

    Hi! I'm about to solder my ESC to the connections to the PDB but is unsure regarding the cables. There seem to be two thin and twiested Signal cables in the middle of the ESC with a black plastic connector at the end. Is one, either the red or the orange cable, ground? Should I cut to remove one...

    Thank you! I have longer bolts so I can build a stack like that with grommets...I think. This fit will into my amateur thoughts, so thanks for confirming. I'll definately add some more space between the boards.

    Hi gurus! I'm continuing the build now (not moving fast here). I feel I need to check details to make sure I don't do stupid things. I want to understand if this is the best way to turn the circut boards and if the minimal space between them is a good idea, or should I have more space in between...
