paris v3 board

[tovrin]

I just received my Paris v3 board and wanted to know if there is anything i should know about connecting it?

my last setup was a dueminalove with an original wm+ and nnchk, i powered my arduino straight from the battery due to its voltage regulator, but i understand i cant do that with Paris board. if i cut the +5v wires of 3 of my ESCs and leave the 4th i should be fine, right?

Hi,

I have the paris V4 board. What you say about the esc connections is correct. You should be ok other than that. Basically your battery only needs to power your ESC`s - and one of those powers the board, and the RX.

I have all ESC's fully connected without cutting the +5v wires.
I don't have any issues with it.

Really? Bugger - i was just going off what the guys who make the paris boards told me. Cheers for that, looks messy with cables hanging out.

it depends on the esc. those with switching becs cannot be paralleled.

Instead of cutting wires....
Just solder pins on minus and signal on the board.
leave 5V without a headerpin on three motor connectors.
