I picked up a used DIY quad last year and have learned a TON about quads and arducopter as a result.
Whatever is going on with the power module is very well wrapped up and I havent wanted to cut it open. I am willing to if it is important of course.
I assume it is a 3DR power module. Once enabled i can see voltage in my ground station and use the low battery safety in ardupilot.
The power lines coming out (not to the ESCs) have some empty connectors and power the LEDs. These wires are supplying 12 Volts ( crazy for an LED I know)
Can the 12 Volts be coming off the 3DR power module or does this imply another piece of equipment is in there?
Can i try just hooking up a 12V FPV system or should i be concerned about needing a BEC or converter or something in line?
Any recommendations on a 12V FPV setup? I use FatSharks with NexRF receiver so I believe that is raceband.
I was told that the empty 12V connectors used to power the FPV setup.
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom - learning arducopter has been fun and these forums have been critical.
