Adding accessories and power considerations - IMPORTANT!
- The Cypher's ESC includes and Switching Battery Eliminator Circuit (SBEC). It is tested an validated to provide power and safety margin for the Cypher as delivered with accessories. If adding additional items to the circuit with significant current draw (servos, retracts for example), it is required to install a larger SBEC while disabling the ESC's Internal SBEC (remove positive connector lead).
- The FLEXF3 Control board is powered by the ESC's SBEC via the second servo port. The SBEC directly powers servo ports 2-8.
- The other accessory ports are powered via further regulation on the FLEXF3 Board. These ports include:
- Receiver Serial Port
- Bluetooth Serial Port
- LED Port
- Power is sufficient for all recommended accessories
- Do NOT add additional loads, to the Receiver (servos, etc) without first disabling its power from the FLEXF3 (remove "+" wire from FLEXF3 to Rx cable) and then powering the receiver from an added external BEC capable of powering your devices. If not following this, DAMAGE to the FLEXF3 Could occur.
- The other accessory ports are powered via further regulation on the FLEXF3 Board. These ports include:
