How can I check if these components are working right?

I’ve already tried connecting the FC to pc and it’s good

you'll need to run them to check

Can I check them by connecting all the system to the fc and to the pc?

#

bcs I haven’t got a battery yet

#

they will all need battery voltage to run

#

you can connect the fc to pc even without a battery tho

#

because it can power the MCU from USB power

#

you can't do that with the ESC, motors, and VTX

#

even if they’re all wired to the FC which is powered by the pc?

#

most USB ports on computers do 5V 0.5A

#

that's about enough to power the FC

#

but the motors, ESC and VTX need a lot more than that
