UART2/PPM - Serial RX or PPM RX + Telememetry
For receiver connections.
Note: Some receivers like the FrSky XSR/X8R require the use of two serial ports for RX and Telemetry in this 

case use UART2 (for RX) and UART5 (for Telemetry) - See also the receiver connector on the bottom of the PCB.

LED Strip Pads
Pads for connecting an LED strip.  Note that some LED strips require a MAXIMUM voltage LESS than 5V.  In 

this case connect a DIODE between the LED strip + and the 5V BEC pad to drop the voltage.  See Cleanflight 

manual for further details.  The LED Strip signal pad is marked “LED” and closest to the middle of the board.
