If not, you’ll need to follow your kit’s instructions per the use of an external BEC. For the remainder of the guide, I am going to assume your ESCs have a BEC output to power your flight-controller. Once this is complete it is important to check your polarities, twice if not three times. Plug each of the ESCs with your motors attached to the appropriate motor number output from the CC3D. Now it is time to wire in our ESC’s, We can reference (Figure B) whether you are using motors that are specifically CW or CCW. Wire in your receiver accordingly and plug your wire harness into the “Input” connector on your CC3D’s board. While referencing (Figure A): Cable #1 Black is Ground, Cable #2 Red is 5v out to power receiver, Cable #3 is PPM+One or PWM Throttle, Cable #4 is PWM Roll/Aileron, Cable #5 is Pitch/Elevator, Cable #6 is Yaw/Rudder, Cable #7 is Flight Mode (Must be a 3 Position Switch), Cable #8 is Aux 1.
We will locate the input wire harness which is made up of eight cables. The first step is to wire in our receiver. After GCS is completed installing, the real fun begins.
Once downloaded, install the program on your computer. Our main focus is going to be getting to the “downloads” page and proceeding to download the latest version of GCS installer for your specific operating system.
