PANDA Power Supply
1. To ensure uninterrupted autopilot function, it is critical that your power system outputs a
stable and clean 5 volt power source to the PANDA system.
2. To avoid current fluctuations, ideally the power source supply to the servos should be
separate from the autopilot.
3. If the power source for the Autopilot system and servos are the same, then we highly
recommend a battery or BEC supply with higher than 3 amps output. Do check this rating
especially if you are using your ESC‘s internal BEC supply as some ESC BECs are not rated
for 3amp output.
4. We highly recommend a separate power source for the autopilot system from the receiver
and servos, as this has shown to produce the best results.
AUTOPILOT CONNECTION OPTIONS
There are three options when setting up your PANDA system. Please review them all and choose
the one that best suits your needs.
Option 1: Ground Station Controlled Flight
a) In this option, your aircraft is controlled only by the Data Radio (Figure 2). With this
setup you do not have a RC receiver in the plane (Figure 1).
