Do I need anything else?

Post by mummi »

What I have:

Walkera Devo 7 Tx
Walkera Devo Rx701
E-Sky 11.1v Lipo charger

What I have ordered:

Crius All In One Pro

What I have yet to order:

Quadrotor RM450 V2
KK AVR USBasp For flashing the ESCs
2 set 11.1v 2200 mAh Lipo

Is there anything else I need that I am forgetting?

[EDIT]
Also.. Is it possible to have a battery low LED light?

hi from europe :-)

i think you have all you need :-)

an the LED voltage alarm in always in the multiwii code integrated ... a smal transistor (i used a mos-fet smd) is needed to drive the current of the LED´s (LED Strips)

You will need a USB adapter cable to load firmware from your computer. Be careful if you use the USBasp KK adapter on a Crius board. For my Crius SE board I use a "FTDI Basic 5V USB to TTL upload tool", on your All In One Pro I don't think you need either of them. Google both and compare because you don't want to let the smoke out.

BE CAREFULL with that all in one Pro board.

More than one have had the USB connector fall off.
If that happens you are stuck making up your own cable to connect an FTDI adapter anyway.
Not fun.

Thanks for the tip! I am picking it up tomorrow, should I put a glob of hotmelt glue on the usb port to secure it?

Check the soldering. Mine was clearly poorly soldered on one side. No where near enough solder to hold the pad.
Plus, the actual pads on each side are small rather than being full ground plane connections.
I would make sure its well soldered but not sure glue will help if it comes loose.
