[Paparazzi-devel] Electrical connections in the airborne equipment.

[Helge Walle]

Here is a simple sketch showing how I would like to power the onboard electronics in a TWOG setup.
 
The plan is to use these connections for my next plane. On my current TwinstarII I use +5V from the TWOG to power the servos. Compared to the sketch the difference is that +5V is now taken from the BEC.
 
There is a jumper on the PPM board for separating the +5V connection, but I kept it in place and just left out the +5V lead between the PPM board and TWOG.
 
I use 6-7cm long servo cables between the R/C receiver and PPM board. Do you think that the +5V and Gnd in parallell in each servo cable represents a problem?
 
Any comments would be welcome.
