@GJH105775 this is it. also I am going to use this servo splitter lead for my leds. but it has 3 female sockets while the leds only use 2 cables red & black can I just connect the red and black cables using 2 pin jst's or will it cause problems with the existing white wire on the servo lead...

@GJH105775 understood. The bit about the negative =neutral clears so much up. and it all makes sense. now how would I factor in the turnigy receiver switch? im looking up online as well, but if you could clear it up then it would save me time

@GJH105775 this is for the single color although the info provided is useful. how would it work for a single color strip? do things change? also when you say the "white" part do you mean the strip itself, the standoff or the battery? also the grounding, that's whats killing me. I didn't know...

good info! @Jackson ill be getting that one then. I have a all the tools I just need to take an electrics class at some college hah I will be doing that very soon @GJH105775 Ive been reading for days on the electrical stuff of quads, preparing for when I get the rest of the parts, and I am...

@GJH105775 great thanks for that tip, I didn't know it was a piece that changed voltage . I looked at the page, saved it as a tab, will be very usful thanks! one more thing. what do you mean by this "If you have the LED strip just apply 5v to it and see how it does, if not bright enough that...

@holtneil great so I plan on doing the same. by loom you mean putting the wires together and making them all 1 single wire to connect to the jst right? so the jst off the HK PDB does run 12v even if the battery is a 4s, correct me if im wrong. thanks!

@GJH105775 woops thought I replied. was at work and the internet is finicky so it didn't go through. annyways I am using the CRIUS AIO 2.1 also I was looking at the PDB from HK and noticed that it has a 12v aux. will this work as a stepdown? if not then will this be sufficient( I recall you...

I am terrible at electrical stuff :/ how would i do that. Are there vids so you dont waste time explaining

Thanks for that, So if i want to run ~20 leds. I conmect them together and tie them to the thing you linked and i connect that to the battery or reciever or pdb?

What would you recommend i use? Do you have a link to the stepdown?

oh ok. I haven't read about stepdowns sadly in all my days of quadcopter learning sessions. but I do have the ubec in hand its a hobbyking 30A ubec

well the battery is a 4cell. so im assuming its a 4s? its a 3000mah

oh and can I get a link to some 24/30 awg wires that would work lol. I keep thinking speaker wires but I cant find any above 16 awg

ah thanks guys! so 24/30 awg speaker wires would satisfy the leds then correct? @holtneil aren't all supposed to be connected tot he PDB? I forgot if they were or did you do a workaround?

Wow that sucks! I hope that once i build my quads i will take it slow or risk breaking them :/. Let us know what happens!

Well i looked in the forums and online for the answer to this question and I cant find a straight answer. so basically I want to use some LEDs on the quads I am building and want to put 2-3 leds per foot so that makes it about 8-12 leds on all the legs in total. then I want to put about 4-6 leds...

@holtneil thanks for the links @GJH105775 what do you guys think of this one, it supposedly comes with module and receiver. but under the included section it says: "*Please take note of the Rx and Tx versions. V1 and V2 are not compatible."<- that doesn't indicate the turnigy 9x pro right...

Here are some motors Here is a 30a ESC Here is a 4S 3000 mah zippy LiPo You mentions LRS. I was thinkiing about biying the turnigy x pro instead as it only cost like 40$ more and getting it sooner. But it says it comes with no module which is a drawback but i guess the control is great for...

@GJH105775 @holtneil also. for the battery i am buying, can i use this switch for it? to power my leds and can a 4 way power splitter work. 4 way power splitter...

good point. i the cc3ds i ordered are already on route. i hope those are enough
