"The ESCs do not have a BEC, you will need to supply 5v power to your flight controller with a UBEC or stepdown voltage regulator" -Hobbymaterc

You will need to get your own BEC.

Plus the PDB will help clean up your wires.

The cool thing about this PDB, is that it was made to be the same size as your CC3D, so if you get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014K8MXO8?psc=1 , then you can mount them on top of eachother like this: https://oscarliang.com/ctt/uploads/2015/04/zmr250-PDB-Installed-and-Naze32-FC.jpg , making the build a whole lot cleaner.


You need to hook your 12v battery directly to the positive and negative pads of the Arris PDB, and then use the 5v regulator portion (always check with a multimeter that it IS outputting 5v before plugging in) and then plug that into your FC. Plug your FC into the FS-R6B receiver and it will light up.

To use the receiver while on your software (I'm assuming openpilot), you will need your FC hooked up into the PC AND powered via the 5v regulator.


Important side note: The FS-T6 has a safety feature that when it loses telemtry, the FS-R6B receiver turns off and therefore turns the craft off. This means that when you turn the receiver on, and your transmitter is not on, it will not light up, rather it will blink red the moment you plug it in, and then turn off. Simply turn on your transmitter, and then you'll see a solid red LED, given that your transmitter is already binded with the receiver.
