Thanks for the pics, there are pretty clear. I have one question. I will be using the same setup except for the acc. I will be using a MW+ and a NK (both clones). Also, I am thinking about using an external BEC for the noise issues I read somewhere, but do you think this is really necessary? Also, If I use an external BEC, I read somewhere that since I am powering everything through it, I need to disconnect the power (VCC) cable of the FTDI sparkfun breakout board to be able to get the readings...is this true?? Thanks a lot! Hello! Thanks for the pics, there are pretty clear. I have one question. I will be using the same setup except for the acc. I will be using a MW+ and a NK (both clones).

Crap suggests it's worthless. While the final presentation isn't up to 'scratch' (pardon the pun), the overall value of what it is still good.</p> Not at all. Crap suggests it's worthless.

I've just added a photo confirming I left it closed (connected) so the two sections aren't split and I don't need to use a seperate uBEC to power the ESC / servo side of the bus.</p> <p>Matt</p> Hi Iain,

Are you referring to the DC bus split on the bottom of the board? I've just added a photo confirming I left it closed (connected) so the two sections aren't split and I don't need to use a seperate uBEC to power the ESC / servo side of the bus.
