Ok. So I gather the KK2 board gets power from motor 1 on the flight control board. Reading through different articles people are removing the the other power leads and only leaving the signal wires connect to the other 2 ESC's. The manual for the KK2 board says that it is not necessary to cut the remaining wires from the other ESC's.
quoted from the manual:
The M1 connector must always have a ESC connected, because this ESC will be the only one that
supplies the FC with 5V power. This ensures stable power to the FC.
The M2 to M8's 5V power pin is connected together, and any servos here will be supplied by any ESC's connected here. There is not necessary to cut the 5V (red) lead on any ESC unless it has a Switching BEC.
It seems like a good idea to cut off the other power supplies, I would think that they could interfere with each other and possibly cause problems.
Can anyone put me right or enlighten me on the pro's and con's of removing the power wires.
Much appreciated.
My motors should be here in a few days, I feel like a school kid in a candy shop!!! The only problem is that my props are about a week behind them..
Onto version two of my frame and haven't even had one piece of electronics on either of them!!
