4.5.3 Powering your Standalone Receiver on Multirotors
Normally the black and red leads on the Rx In harness can be used to power your receiver on
multirotors, eliminating the need to have an additional BEC. This can be accomplished by crimping
the red and black leads together with the “Ail” lead, on a servo connector, as shown.
The red lead on the Rx In harness (“5V Power”) is connected internally in the MicroVector to the “5V
Power” lead on the Power harness.
But, remember that no servos can be powered from your receiver (including pan/tilt or tricopter
servos) if you power your receiver this way!
4.5.4 Powering the MicroVector from your Standalone Receiver on Fixed Wing
Normally the black and red leads on the Rx In harness can be used to power your MicroVector
from your receiver on fixed wing. This can be accomplished by crimping the red and black leads
together with the “Ail” lead, on a servo connector, as shown.
But, the following must be true in order for this power method to work:
a) None of the other “5V Power” connections on the MicroVector are connected to a power source.
b) You have a BEC (normally from your motor ESC) connected to a spare receiver channel, which is
powering your receiver and servos.
