Wiring quad, BEC, ESC's, and naze32

I have opto ESC's and from my understanding that means they won't drop voltage to a suitable voltage to feed my naze 32 flight controller. However, my distrobution board has a built in BEC (5v or 12v).

My setup is..

• 475 kv multistar motors
• Opto ESC'S
• Acro Naze32 flight controller
• Flysky reciever and transmitter
• Distro with integrated BEC
• 5s Battery

My questions are..

I'm going to wire each positive and negative from each ESC to the distro. Wire the battery connector to the distro. Then feed the naze32 from the BEC port. Then I will only be putting the control wire from each ESC to the flight controller because I wouldn't be feeding the controller by way of ESC.

Does that sound correct? And if so, at which voltage? 5v or 12v?

My drone also has a servo to actuate a landing gear. It utilizes two mechanical endstops and diodes to operate. Does that as well get fed from the BEC or by plugging it in to a reciever port will it obtain it's proper voltage?

Thank you and let me know if you need more information.
 
Make sure the ESCs, the motors an your PDB will support the 5S input as this will cause you problems that might cost money. The 5v is what your FCB (Naza) will require. You'd have to read the specs on your landing gear to know about them, however many servos are 5v.

As far as the wiring that sounds correct, though you might need to use the ground wires from the ESCs to prevent any problems as they are opto, though I would think that they would be fine with just one wire (I've done quads this way)

By this image, How would this be wired into the naze32? Thank you again for your help.
