RC and Joystick Control Connections

The A10 is cable of being controlled  remotely by  an RC controller (Futaba, Spektrum, JR, etc) or a wired 
analog joystick.  We  include  the  wiring harness for this purpose.  Figure  25.   To  install  the  harness first 
disconnect  the  motor  wires  from  the  controller  case.  Be  sure  to  remember  the  orientation  of  the 
connector.  It must be plugged back in the same way later. Next, remove the controller case from the A10 
by removing the four 2mm screws that hold the case to the case cover plate. Then, carefully pull the case 
away from the A10 so that you may access the remote harness port on the controller.  The port is located 
on the main larger square shaped PCB. Figure 26. To better access the port you may remove the smaller 
stacked  PCB  by  carefully  prying it  loose.   Next to  the port  on the larger PCB  you will  see the  markings 
‘Gnd  5v  A1 A0 A2 A3’. Figure 27. The wire harness must  plug into this port.  The harness connector can 
be  inserted  into  a rectangular shaped  opening in the case next  to  the  USB port.   Angle the connector 
sideways  and  it  will  fit  through  the  opening.    Figure  28.  Now  plug in  the  harness  to  the  port.  When 
complete it will look like figure 29.  You may now re-attach the smaller PCB and close up the case.

Now the harness connectors must be plugged into the RC receiver or joystick.  Joystick connections are 
not  covered at this time but will  be in a future version of this manual. For RC receiver control connect as 
shown. Figure 31. The red/black/white lead is plugged into the roll channel. Brown is plugged in to pitch 
channel. Grey and yellow are not used for this purpose.
