- Please understand that quadcopters are potentially dangerous machine. Use the highest level of
precaution when working with hot solder iron, Lipo battery and motors. Make sure to remove props from motor
throughout the entire building process.
MinimOSD
– We are not responsible for programming the MinimOSD! As you would when purchasing any
MinimOSD, you must have access to a FTDI Programmer to program/config the MinimOSD
! –
Power output on CAM 5V/12V connector
– Because a linear regulators are used, limit the current draw to
less than 200mA per rail on 5V and 12V to prevent overheating
! – Battery Polarity –
Be sure to hook up your battery leads to the proper pads. Positive lead is clearly
marked with +B+ and Negative lead with -B-. Reversing this can potentially damage your
PDB/Pololu/MinimOSD
! - 4S+1.3Ghz warning –
VTX and Camera are both filtered. Only camera power is regulated at (12V or 5V).
Power to the VTX pins is not regulated. The flight battery voltage will be applied directly to your VTX. Most
5.8 Ghz video transmitters have a built in regulator with a wide range to easily accept 3S – 4S standard.
Most 1.3 Ghz video transmitters do not have built in regulators and will need a 12V mini regulator in place
on the video out pins if using a 4S flight pack. A
product like this
can be wired in before the VTX power
connections
! – Power/Ground wire soldering –
Caution must be taken when soldering wires to the power and ground
pads on the PDB. There are many sensitive components on the PDB board that a hot soldering iron can ruin
or de-solder if carelessly placed
! – Carbon Fiber –
It’s conductive! Watch for shorts on electrical components. The lower frame is grounded
so avoid having positive wires touch the carbon. Be careful when handling carbon as edges are sharp
