Step 13: Control Board Connections
In this step, you will connect your ESCs and Receiver to your Control Board. The Receiver connects to the
Receiver Port’s 2x9 male header on the left edge of the Control Board. The electronic speed controllers
connect to the ESC Port’s 2x12 male header on the front edge of the Control Board.
1.
Connect the Receiver to the Receiver Port, with the five signal connections listed below. Use the 3-
wire extension cables included in the ELEV-8 Electronics Kit.
A = Aileron
T = Throttle
R = Rudder
E = Elevator
G = Gear (ON: EPA value is Primary Gain, Altitude Hold is off.)
(OFF: EPA value is Altitude Hold Gain, Altitude Hold is on.)
2.
Connect each motor’s ESC controller to the corresponding pins on the ESC port.
Match the motor numbers at left to the port numbers below.
3.
Double-check your connections – it’s easy to make a mistake here.
