FC/PDB Lights flickering

[ewokshoter]

So basically I have just a pdb and fc wired up. Its a matek FCHUB6S and a lux fc v1. The Fc and pdb lights are flickering and rather dim. what could be causing this?

How are you powering it?

How are you powering it?

With a 3 or 4s Lipo. its rated for either.

I should note that it was powered with a short circuit (nothing else attatched) the lights never even turned on and it still can power a fc (albeit not enough)

If you have a meter, check the voltages on the PDB.

That sounds like a PDB problem, like the FC isn’t getting enough voltage. Maybe try plugging in the FC to the computer and see if the lights are normally lit. If they aren’t, then it’s probably the FC.

Thanks all. just bought a new Pdb and it seems to be working a okay
