Need Help with BEC on a Acro Naze32 board

[RCikon]

I purchased a Suppo 3A External BEC since my ZTW Spider 20A OPTO ESC's don’t provide power. Since this is my first Quadcopter build, I want to make sure I understand how to connect the BEC correctly.


Could I take M1 ESC and pull the signal wire out and plug that single wire into the BEC and then plug the BEC into my Naze 32 board for M1? Then plug the rest rest of the 3 remaining ESC's to the following M2, M3 and M4 pins? See Picture diagram for an example. Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks,

You could just pull the pins out of the connectors and put the BEC's pins in(I'd connect the two neutrals to reduce noise), or you could just plug the BEC into the spot for motor 5. If it does not work for some reason then that means that your FC does not have the 5v + and neutral bussed.

Hi guys it all depends on if your using a normal receiver if you are you can plug BEC into batt on receiver this will power the receiver and nase
the other way is to add the signal wire from ESC for motor 1 to the BEC plug and then plug this into motor 1 pins ,you MUST make sure it the right way round it will burn out the board as soon as battery is plugged in
I would do the first way through the receiver as you would with 99% of the flight boards
I did read that they use motor 5 pins also but still make sure its the right way round
