Hey guys,
i am building a quadcopter:
those are the parts:
EMAX cf28-22 Brushless Outrunner
HK ss series 25-30A ESC
Turnigy 2200 Mah 40C
HK Power Distro Board
DIY Frame (300g weight)
arduino uno (r3)
wii motion plus CLONE
Hobby King 2.4Ghz 6Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 2)
and now the question.
I cannot spend other money and i have this expansion shield http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=IO_Expansion_Shield_For_Arduino%28V5%29_%28SKU:_DFR0088%29
can i use this to connect like this?Image
i need to remove bec?which of the four?
the shield:Image

for connect the Wm+ there isn't problem but for the receiver, can i power it without connect anything to the pin "BAT" but only with the 5v of the pin 2 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7?
really sorry for my very bad english

I dont know anything about this shield but my question is why would you want to, there is nothing I can see on the shield that is needed. You dont appear to have any sensors that would require that shield, to me it would be just extra weight, unless you really want the blue tooth option. For the esc Q you can use any one for the 5v it doesnt matter, but most people recommend only using one to give the 5v supply.

Stick the boards onto some foam for vibration damping and just make your own wires using male and female servo terminal pins as required.

I think It will work fine.
But it's not the smallest solution.

All motor and servoPins is available.
