Hello All,
I recently decided that I wanted to build a quad, so I did some research on which parts were best. I came up with the following parts for the 'basics':
Motors: NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kV
ESC: Turnigy Plush 18A
Control Board: KK 2.1.5 Multirotor Control Board
Power Distribution Board: HobbyKing Quadcopter Power Distribution Board
Battery: Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 40C Li-Po Battery
Once I had finished assembling the frame and installing the motors with the ESC's, I ran into an issue with powering the KK board. I initially used the black 2-pin connector on the HK Power Distribution Board and plugged it into the Voltage Sensor header on the KK board. I soon realized that this was wrong, but I tried to supply it 5V via the M1 input from my M1 ESC, but that too failed. I continued to look around the internet looking for answers, but nothing turned up. What I thought was odd was that all of the ESC's gave the initial arming sequence and some beeps, but the KK board still was not powering on. I was wondering if someone could please give me some guidance on what I am doing incorrect, as I really would love to have my very own quadcopter!
Thank you in advance for your time,
Owen
