(2/8) APM 2.5/2.6 - Powering the board, motor installation and ESC calibration

In this second video in the APM 2.X series we look at how to mount the board, how it’s powered, how to install the motors and calibrate the ESCs and perform a final check to ensure that everything is connected correctly. We cover what J1 (Jumper1) does on the board, things to consider when using Opto, switched and linear ESCs and what to do if you can't power your board from the ESC connections. Then we will look at a top tip about how you can avoid problems with crossed motor connections, how to calibrate the ESCs (using the short and longhand method) and finally a top tip for how to check that he motors are installed perfectly before the first hover test. This is a reload of the original video as the instructions on how to run through the all-in-one ESC calibration were not clear. Thanks for watching, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and Happy flying!
