Hardware Connections
The direction of the arrow in diagram indicates the rotation direction of the motor/propeller.
Esc Configuration We Used
We used Quad Rotor X Configuration in our case that is on 2nd place in the above picture. And Motor1
(M1) is Connected to M1 input on the controller and same procedure is followed for the rest of three
Motors.
Main Controller(MC) Mount
(1) The DJI logo should face the sky, DO NOT mount the MC upside-down.
(2) The MC sides should be parallel to the aircraft body.
(3) The arrow should point to the nose direction of aircraft.
(4) The MC is best positioned near the aircraft’s center of gravity. Make sure all ports are accessible.
Tip： It is recommended to fix the MC until all wirings and configurations are completed, using 3M
gummed paper provided to fix the MC.
Power Management Unit (PMU) Module Mount
DO NOT attach the PMU on other device. Sufficient air flow over the PMU is highly recommended.
Tip：If use with DJI multi-rotor, you can solder the power cable to power pads on frame bottom board.
Please refer to DJI multi-rotor manual for details. If use with 3rd part aircraft, you can make a connecter
by yourself to connect PMU and battery.
GPS/Compass Mount (Optional)
GPS/Compass is sensitive to magnetic interference, should be far away from any electronic devices. If
you use your own mounting rod, make sure it is NOT magnetic!
Procedures：
(1) You should use epoxy resin AB glue to assemble the GPS bracket first. Mount the bracket on
the center plate of craft. Position the bracket at least 10 cm from any propeller.
(2) The DJI logo marked on the GPS should face the sky, with the orientation arrow pointing
directly forward. then fix the GPS on the plate of the bracket (by 3M glue provided).

Tip：The GPS/Compass is packaged with a special indication line for mounting for the first time.
Transmitter(TX) & Receiver(RX) Connections
(1) Refer to you TX Manual, setup the Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, Rudder channels on your TX first,
and choose a 3- position switch as control mode switch.
(2) Attach the matched RX to aircraft, then connect your RX to the right ports on MC. The following
diagram shows the connection example for traditional RX.
Step3 Double Check:
In this step, turn on the transmitter, connect the battery to the PMU, and then watch the LED, if you can
see the LED blinks the system is working.
