Velox F411 Lite - Wiring help on first build (Dart 250g)

[smatonis]

Flight Controller: Velox F411 Lite

Battery: 2000 mAh Li-ion 2S (7.4V)

It looks like this board has a BEC built-in...so do I not need to buy a 4-in-1 ESC and use the harness section/plug-in on the back? Snip off the XT30 connector from the thick battery leads and solder straight to the FC?

Which pads should I expect to use for these respective components?

1. Main prop
2. Servo 1
3. Servo 2
4. RunCam
5. VTX (connected to 5.8 GHz antenna): TBS Unify Pro32 Nano
6. GPS
7. 2.4 GHz receiver
8. Battery

If anyone is willing to annotate the image provided...I would feel more confident about not frying my first gear and greatly appreciate it.

Sorry, I don’t know much about flight controllers, maybe @Houndpup Rc @LitterBug ?

Sure!
I'm especially hesitant to solder the battery straight to the FC.

So you do not want to run you battery directly into the FC in this case....But you can just buy this BEC on amazon which will step your power from 7.4v to 5v which in turn you can jjust solder to any 5v pad on the board

Or this will work too if you want a cheaper one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FH4513SP/?tag=lstir-20

So what's the point of the FC's BEC?

Whooops! Thanks for double checking! I was looking for a 12v pad on it but I didn't see the "batt" pad..So yes! You should be able to solder your battery to your "batt" pad on the FC!
BUT...Though I am about 95% sure that its fine, it might feed something down the wrong way....But like I said, I am pretty sure it would work just to solder it to the "batt" pad
