Receiver & Servos

STEP1:

Set the transmitter to single-servo CCPM

(Futaba: H-1; JR/Spectrum: 1sNORM; Hitec: 1-Servo 90°).

Connect the receiver to the MC input servo ports. (High voltage receiver is essential

over 7.4v)

Battery or BEC

Ace Waypoint uses the same power source as the servos and receiver; power to all electronics connected to the MC can be supplied

by either servo input or output ports on the MC. Ace Waypoint operates with a power source between 4.8 to 8.4 volts DC. When

choosing a power source, bear in mind that all servos and Ace Waypoint will use that same power source, thus please make sure the

power source you use will also satisfy the servo requirements. A high capacity battery of 4000mAh or above is strongly advised,

especially for large scale electric powered helicopter.

The power consumption of Ace Waypoint is 5W maximum (testing condition: 0.9A@5V). For some small scale helicopters,

the BEC provided may not be able to supply enough overall power consumption, please use high performance BEC.
