- Page 6 The IN pad of the LED strips needs to be connected to the LED output pad of the FC. ◆ Use a 5V active buzzer to connect to the BZ + and BZ- pads and be careful not to reverse them. ◆ BZ + means output 5V voltage. COMPASS TOP VIEW Copyright @ 2020, RCTIMER...
- Page 7 The current sensor that needs to be used must first know its output ratio and the signal wire is connected to ◆ the SI pad. The default ratio of Ares F7 is 366. Ares F7 is powered directly by the battery so it does not have a signal input pad. The onboard voltage divider is ◆ configured to 110.
- Page 8 Wiring Diagram ▸ Power supply Ares F7 supports 8 ~ 40V direct input voltage, due to the limitation of DJI Air module and the stability of BEC ◆ output voltage, 3 ~ 4 cells is usually recommended. Ares F7 has 3 pairs of power and ground pads onboard, In the case of using Ares 4IN1 ESC in combination, the ◆...
