Genix Phoenix Power Distribution Board
(PDB) w/Battery Low Voltage Buzzer
Product Description
Create a super clean and modular build. The socketed connections
allow for an easy build and tear-downs for cleaning, inspection, or
equipment changes. There is room between the PDB and Naze32 to fit
other equipment such as receiver or Blackbox.
-Designed for Naze32 Rev6, also suitable for Rev5 (see build note below)
-Ultra-clean power via L-C filter
-5V Pololu regulator header (fits up to 1A version)
-Naze32 socket headers
-ESC signal traces and pads
-Buzzer for low-voltage warning and lost-model locator
-FPV equipment power pads: 5V and L-C filtered battery
-Suitable for 4 x 20A power draw
-2S-4S
-2oz copper, 4 layer board
Weight: 6.1g including headers and buzzer
5V Regulator Info
Does not include 5V regulator. See related products below for Pololu 5V regulator.
Pinout for regulator connection on the Genix PDB, from left to right: not connected, not connected, VIN, GND, 5V.
Please note that the SHDN pin function varies between Pololu 5V regulators:
- Pololu D24V5F5 500mA (0J7990): This is the one we carry. It does not need any special consideration. Simply solder it to the Genix PCB header.
- Pololu D24V6F5 600mA (0J7034): This one is common with
other stores. It requires that the SHDN pin be connected to the VIN pin
for proper function. Use the solder jumper on the PDB to connect SHDN
to VIN.
- Pololu D24V10F5 1A (0J8557): This is the one included with the
RotorX Atom kits. It does not need any special consideration. Simply
solder it to the Genix PCB header.
Build tips:
- Cut pins flush with board before soldering to maximize clearance
between board and frame. This is useful for fitting a battery strap.
- Check your spacing before soldering male pins to flight
controller. Pins can be adjusted in the plastic strip or removed from
the strip.
- To customize heights between PDB and Naze32, consider removing male
pins from the plastic strip and inserting into the female headers. Then
add your standoffs, and place the flight controller, then solder the
male pins to the flight controller. Clip excess pin length from top
side of Naze32.
Naze32 Rev 5
For Naze32 Rev5: the PDB should be oriented as shown
in this picture. Notice that the ESC signal pads are numbered
incorrectly in this orientation. You have two options:
Option 1 (the easy way): Solder the ESC signal wires to the correct
motor numbered pad. This will not be the closest pad to the ESC. This
option is NOT shown in this picture.
Option 2 (the cleanest way): Solder to the closest pad (like this
picture) and then use a mmix in Cleanflight 1.10+ to correctly route the
signals:
mixer custom
mmix reset
mmix 0 1 1 1 1
mmix 1 1 -1 1 -1
mmix 2 1 1 -1 -1
mmix 3 1 -1 -1 1
Adjust your board yaw in Cleanflight, and test safely.
Naze32 Rev6
No special consideration is necessary for rev 6. Simply install PDB
with the large header block near the front of your quad, and solder ESC
signal wires to the closest signal pads.
