In this video we cover the options for how to power your PixHawk. We cover the options for connecting power to the Power port on the top of the PixHawk, then cover the options for connecting the wires from the ESCs to the other side of the power system. We discuss redundancy and recommendations when using servos for gimbals and landing gear.

Thanks to ‘R’ for donating the PixHawk for this series - he is a very generous chap.
