Hello there
Im planning on building my first quadcopter soon, and I'm gathering as much information as possible as I don't want do end up with something that is not compatible or worse; fry something.
So my plans was to buy these parts. The parts in blue is in the DJI F450 ARF Kit.
I'm from Norway, thats why the charger is 220V and the LiPo bag is in centimeters, just to clear some possible confusion or misunderstanding
So,
QUESTION 1
Do I need some power conversion module or something for the Naze32, or can I connect it to the power distribution board on the F450 frame? All information says it can take a maximum of 16V on the input line, but can it handle the shifting current of a battery? (Since this is my first quad, I won't have a gimbal or FPV gear at first)
QUESTION 2
Will my controller/transmitter work with this setup?
QUESTION 3
Since I'm taking VG1 Electrisity (First year of the first "optional" school in Norway) I understand that too high current can easily fry stuff, so could I theoretically install a fuse in my quad? I've read a bit around, some say no, some say maybe, since say if a well sized fuse blow mid-air, the quad will fall down like a rock. That's an obvious one, but if as I said it was a well sized fuse, wouldn't that current probaly fry the electronics anyways? From my perspective it is better to let it fall and break the frame or a propellor than fry the electronics.
QUESTION 4
What type of cable do I need between the battery and the Power Distribution Board?
