### (Po_. Distribution Board). This double Sicled PDB has solder pads fOr fOr ESCs, voltage regulators, po_. cables and acceseory cables.

The PDB has a 12 VOlt clrcun built In for the LE:Dsthat are on the board as 1111111 as extra 

### pads

### to the new curved side-walls). The additional LED pads are placed in the same location that the carbon fiber sidewallS go inw. We are thinking about a possible future ac:c:essory where the sidewallS are PCBs with LEOs placed on them. The pads could then be soldered tothase new Sicle-wall PCBs. The carbon libar sidewalls, if pressad 

## aown hard enough could short outthase pads (as Carbon Filer is conduativa). Therefore, you naad 10 cover thase pads with a bit of eladrical tapa 10 avoid any possible shorts. Hera is a picture ofthe PDB with yellowtape appliad.

Next we wtlllnstall and solder on the ESC's 10 the powar dlalrlbLIIIon board. Prep your ESCs by cutting the the power wtres

### QAVSOO uses 10mm aluminum standoffs in the "dirtY' sactian and same ESC's will have capacitors thai are larger than 10mm high. The PDB and CF plate have cut outs designed specifically for this, sa by laying aut your ESC in a position where the capacitor can pratnude through the frame plate cut autyou can fit ESC's with capacitors larger than 1 Omm .This QA V500 V2**k~** also includes a Pololu 12v step-down 1101tage regulalor which can be directly installed to this power distribution board. T11is is very useful fOr providing 12v power to otner eleclronies on your aircraft such as FPV gear and cameras, many 01 which run on 12v. 

### It iS most common tor a QAV500 to be powered via a 48 (4 cell16.8v tully Charged) UPo battery, but thiS PDB and 1101tage regulator also supports up to 68 systems. Atthlstlme we will Instal the Pololu 12vstep-down voltage regulfiiDr by soldering the Included pin headers onto the PDB. The regulalor comBS wllh 4 plna fOr the Included SHDN, but only 3 are required fOr operallon. Cut the pin header row down to 3 and Install onto the PDB In the dBSI111d locallon. (2 locallona are provided, allowing you to add a -=ond 110llage regulalor Hneeded such as a 5v atep down or a second t2V). Solder In the pin headers to the PDB 

### ftrst, being care1ul to use just enough solder to make each connecllon. 

### Be sure no soldertouches the adjacent pin which 'MIUid create a ahon. Lay the 1101tage regulator down on the pins which are 

### now Installed oniD the PDB, and line up the VIN, GND, and VOUT to the COifiiiiiiOndlng points an the PDB.

Atthis time you can also solder on your accessory cables such as JST and XT60 cables (main power 

### cable)to the PDB. It may be helpful to label each power cable, especially Ifyou're using multiple cables and 1101tagea. Far**8Xarq~le,** the power cable coming allthe pads run through the Voltage RegulfiiDr 'MlUid be labeled 12v, and the cabiBB running Offthe main board 'MlUid be 16v(lf running a48 flight battery).

Install the I 1 10mm aluminum spacers using M3x5mm butiDn heed scrvws. The spacers should face up when the ESCs are facing youat1**~riUWII** UaiUW.

Nowthat all the soldering and wiring on the PDB is complete we can attach the arms to the board with M3x5mm sere-. Keep in mind the PDB will be on top ofthe 'dirty'' section of the airframe and the CF plate will 

### be on the bottom, so you will want to make sure you Install your arms facing the correct direction. See the Images below for an example.

We suggest soldering your motorwires directly to each ESC. Many people use bullet connector for ease of use, but by soldering motor wires directly to the ESC you limitthe 9ldl'a points of failure that bullet connectors can cause. You will need to test the motor direction during this process to ensure you have 2 CW and 2 CCW spinni ng motors. If you find that t motor is spinn ing in the wrong direction you can simply swap any 2 ofthe 3 motor wires and this will reverse the direction of the motor.

Mount the motors on the arms with the M3x5mm screws. Most motors will work v.1th these screws. We suggest to runthe motor wires neatly along the arm, securing them in place with zip ties. His important to carefully run the motor wires through the center of the arm slot,**ensu~ng** the wires are not being pinched against the arm or plates. If you do pinch a motor wire, you will run the**~sk** of shorting out a motor and possibly more.

Nowwe are ready to combine the CF Plate and sidewalls you assembled earlier with the Power Distribution Board and arms. Take you rarne Vo11ll tra
