-Don't forget to set the output signal polarity in the firmware, each method requires a different output signal polarity, because the signal is inverted when it passes through the FET. The esc's will not spin the motors if the polarity is set wrong.+Don't forget to set the output signal polarity in the firmware, each method requires a different output signal polarity, because the signal is inverted when it passes through the FET. The esc's will not spin the motors if the polarity is set wrong. Refer to [[:more_brushless_setup_info|this page]] under the heading "**How to set up PPM/Oneshot".**

-There are a few ways to do this. The flight controller has an onboard regulator, but it is limited to how much input voltage it can take without getting too hot. Usually 5V is safe for these boards, and the H8 mini blue board has been reported to run up to 8.4V (2S) from reliable source.+There are a few ways to do this. The flight controller has an onboard regulator, but it is limited to how much input voltage it can take without getting too hot. 5V is safe for these boards, and many of the regulators have max input voltage of 6V.
  
 1. Use a voltage regulator (buck converter) from ebay or Banggood, I often use one with a variable output voltage set by a mini trimpot and set the output to 4V. It weighs around 1.6gm and works well. I am using this on several quads with no issues. To find one do a search for mini power module or mini step down or buck converter or use similar search terms. The disadvantage with this method is that you need to run a timer or low voltage buzzer so you don't completely flatten and damage your battery. Here is a pic: 1.

 TELEMETRY BATTERY VOLTAGE MONITORING FOR E011 FC TELEMETRY BATTERY VOLTAGE MONITORING FOR E011 FC
  
-This E011 FC is powered by a 5V BEC so it needs an external battery voltage wire to monitor the batt voltage for telemetry. Where I soldered the blue 56k resistor to an existing resistor on the FC, I removed another resistor above that existing resistor, and a motor cap to the left for easier access for soldering (the cap is not needed for brushless). The yellow wire goes to battery + on the esc. Then the ADC_SCALEFACTOR calibrates the telemetry battery voltage. No other code changes are required. 39k to 56k will work fine for 2S and 3S. Use 56k for 4S.+This E011 FC is powered by a 5V BEC so it needs an external battery voltage wire to monitor the batt voltage for telemetry.
