Dose my maytek pdb-xt60 have a current sensor pad or how should I hook up up current sensor

I don't see a shunt resistor or hall sensor on it

#

it is hard to read the silkscreen from that picture, but I doubt it has one

#

you could put one inline before the PDB.

You do not need to use the current sensor line

#

Run your 4pwm motor pads on flight controller to signal wires on esc

#

And then bat wire/ground on fc to a bat pad on pdb

#

Also, for future reference there is no need to create a new forum. If you message in the old one it will repopulate.

So ignor the CUR

yes

#

Also ignore the R6/led?

Depends if you want esc telemetry

If you want to blow up your flight controller...

That's helpfull..

#

spice hull That's helpfull..

yes, it is, because if you put battery voltage onto a data pin, stuff will blow up

#

Ok soooo where do I put it than

#

What ESCs have you got? @spice hull

#

either way, the answer is probably "nowhere"
