It's indeed the safest option. You don't want to mess with the FMU power module and risk the FMU not receiving enough power at some point. Power should not be pulled from the FMU power module, but instead a 5V BEC should be attached to the power distribution board and the output of the BEC connected to the PWM header marked "BEC". This will supply power to the servos.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Apr 2020 11:35:20 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/HoverGames-Drone-Challenge/How-do-I-provide-power-to-servos-connected-to-the-NXP-RDDRONE/m-p/1060320#M12 matthiaswilkens 2020-04-21T11:35:20Z Re: How do I provide power to servos connected to the NXP RDDRONE-FMUK66 PWM output ports? https://community.nxp.com/t5/HoverGames-Drone-Challenge/How-do-I-provide-power-to-servos-connected-to-the-NXP-RDDRONE/m-p/1166320#M116 <P>Hi,</P><P>Would you have a recommended BEC to use?&nbsp; Do we connect this from the power distribution board to the PWM controller ?</P><P>Thank you!</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 12 Oct 2020 21:25:58 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/HoverGames-Drone-Challenge/How-do-I-provide-power-to-servos-connected-to-the-NXP-RDDRONE/m-p/1166320#M116 BruceHecht 2020-10-12T21:25:58Z
