Making older TBS PDB V1 compatible with newer TBS COLIBRI FC
The newer TBS POWERCUBE COLIBRI (v1.2, V2.0 or above) is not compatible with older TBS PDB V1 out of the
box. It will require one small modification.
All that needs to be done is to cut off one pin on the TBS POWERCUBE PDB (non-v2.0) stacking header. The pin
is the extra pin 11, 12V DC supply. This pin is an additional 5V pin on newer TBS PDB V2 boards.
Unless you are using an older flight controller (V1.0, V1.1), you will not need to make any changes. Owners of
POWERCUBE FPVision layer or PDB V2.0 will not need to make any modifications at all, no matter what FC
version is used.
The following table shows when to remove the pin and when to leave it.
