    My flight controller works under usb power but not battery power, however my vtx works with battery power while wired through my flight controller

So the power is being given to the parts but not the chips on the fc, or something like that. The power is there on the pads just not for the fc. There’s something I heard about called a...

But if the 5v pad is reading 5v does that mean that it is completely blown? I also tried connecting the battery directly to the fc and that did...

The camera was also a 9v pad, the receiver was a 5v/3.3v pad where I had to make a solder bridge on the bottom of the board to select a 5v output, so it was a 5v pad. I'm...

But my flight controller is in a very situational issue. It does not power up when plugged into my lipo battery, but the...
