    I need help powering both ESC and FC

    A quick update for anyone that's interested or that comes here with a similar problem. I found an old copy of the docs for the FC somewhere online (Bardwell-F4-FC-Manual-v1.3.1-FINAL.pdf) This was written before they changed the board to have a plug for a 4in1 ESC. In the Troubleshooting...

    I'm upgrading my drone (I need an OSD so I don't over discharge another lipo). I've bought a "Bardwell F4 AIO FC", I didn't realise it's got a built in PDB, I can take out my old PDB, that's fine. The docs say if you're using a 4 in 1 ESC (which I am: 20A 4 in 1 ESC) then the battery should be...
