One last question

[Royston]

I';ve also got X525 which am trying to instal AIO pro.
How do you power the board without a UBEC.
Obviously in the simplest laymans terms. (Without being rude)

Regards
Roy
Gonna try the 450 tomorrow and will endeavour to video it

I take it you mean the crius AIO board
the board id powered by the ESCs ubec when you leave the jumper  on the pins ( my jumper is bright yellow

you only remove the jumper if you are powering the board by a separate ubec

[Royston]

Hi
Checked and jumper is in place???

[firey1]

silly question but ???
are your escs opto or ubec there should be power going to the board from your esc when the jumper is in place

[Royston]

Hi
They';re OPTO. Does that mean they don';t have inbuilt BEC as I specifically asked before I ordered them from RC Timer and they emailed to confirm they did???

[fruitsalad]

correct they have no inbuilt bec,youll need a ubec.

[Royston]

Not a happy bunny.  As I say they emailed me to confirm the did have. Will get on to them and see what tbey say.
Thanks anyway. At least I know now.

[Royston]

What ubec would you recommend.
Preferably UK sourced.
Cheers

I am in New Zealand I use a hobby king  ubec
to use a stand alone ubec you will need to solder to board I used a jst plug soldered a short lead from board with male end and then the female plug to the ubec this way i could isolate and remove when needed

Hi.
Have now fitted UBEC, I think correctly as it appears he same as on my 450, but still no power to board.
Could I have inadvertently blown the board with a wrong connection initially and if so how can I tell.
Is there a way to tell if the UBEC is live on the board?
Any help, again, appreciated.

[peter_a]

a voltmeter
a led and resistor
or anything which uses 5v

[Royston]

Cheers Peter
Checked with voltmeter.
Getting power from ubec to board but no further. No LEDs etc.

Hi Roy,
Can you take a photo of your board connections (UBEC) so we can see what is going wrong. The UBEC should be connected to the Ext power connector and the Jumper in the middle of the power rails removed.

[Royston]

Cheers
Connections are correct as per your instructions.
I think I may have shorted the board when originally getting mixed up with connections.
One of the guys on the forum is going to check it out for me.
Thanks
Roy
