How do I power the apm2?

Can I power the APM board from the output connector?
- Although if JP1 is removed the OUTPUT connector cannot be used to supply power to the APM board. It is possible to power the APM board from the Power Module connector or the OUTPUT or INPUT connectors. Normally the APM 2.5/2.6 “Power Module” is used to provide primary APM 2.5 board and general I/O power.
How do I connect my servos to my APM?
- Provide APM board and receiver power via the power module connected to the power module connector. Connect an external BEC with sufficient power for your servos to one pair of the OUTPUT connector power pins. When connecting your ESCs to the OUTPUT connector clip the BEC power leads on each ESC’s 3 wire connector.
What is the function of the jumper JP1 on an APM?
- The jumper JP 1 determines whether the two power circuits are connected or separate. If JP1 is removed, the power rail on the OUTPUT connector “Floats” and may be used to distribute power. Although if JP1 is removed the OUTPUT connector cannot be used to supply power to the APM board.
