Hey guys,
Hoping you can help me out here as I try to learn some of this stuff. Joshua Bardwell's series on how to wire a board has been incredibly helpful and I feel like I got a pretty good handle on flight controllers now.
So my Flycolor Raptor-S flight controller appears to have a 5V/1A regulator and a 12V/500mA regulator (see bullet point #6 in link: ttps://www.foxtechfpv.com/product/ESC%20and%20FC/S-TowerBLHeli-Smanual.pdf).
Am I correct that there is actually 2 regulators - one for the 5V ports and one for the 12V ports?
So I have the following components hooked up:
TS5823S video transmitter: TS5823S 40 Channel 200mW FPV Video Transmitter
- 190 mA power draw based on the spec sheet. It is hooked up to the 12V port and would be using 190mA of the 500mA regulator, correct?
Runcam Swift 2 camera: RunCam Swift 2
- 70 mA power draw based on spec sheet. It is hooked up to another 12V port and would be using 70mA of the 500mA regulator, correct?
So between the Swift and TS5823S I would be using up 260mA of the alotted 500mA regulator?
Then there is a 5V regulator for the 5V ports (receiver port and the buzzer). I don't think I would be anywhere near the 1A regulator max.
I am doing this as sort of an exercise to learn this stuff and help me pick the correct board and components for future builds.
Thanks!
