Hey,
It is my first time building a quad or owning one for that matter. I have sourced togeather all the parts i need and have started assembling. I have hit a point were i have too many wires and it is hurting my head trying to figure out how they should go. I am disaapointed not 1 item didnt come with any diagrams.

Hope the below makes sense.

I have;

Runcam swift 2
5-36v = goes to 5v on the tramp or 12 or 5v from my pdb?
GND = Ground
Video = V on tramp
Audio = A on tramp or tx3 on fc?
VBAT+ = possitive from my main battery or volt on fc?
GND = is this just for the controller?
OSD = is this just for the controller?

Tramp hv
+ = 12 or 5v from my pdb?
G = Ground
5v = 5-36v runcam
V = Video on runcam
T = ?
A = audio on runcam or tx3 on fc?

XSR
GND - Ground
+5V - vcc on fc
S.port - rx3 on fc
CPPM -
S.BUS - tx1 on fc

I have a raceflight controller btw.

Also do i just take 5v from my pdb and connect it to bec5v on fc or

Lastly i have a "black" and "white" wire from ecc, i take it "ground" is "black" and "white" is "signal".

thanks for taking the time to read
 
Wings,

Welcome! Wiring on these can be pretty overwhelming. I'm at the final stages of a RF Revolt V2 build myself. I'm going to link a document that should get you off in the right direction. You'll probably still have a few questions particularly with the Swift 2 but see if this helps answer some of your questions. Make sure you pick the diagram with the right RF board. You can download this PDF to your local drive for future reference.

Runcam swift 2
5-36v = best to use 5V from Tramp HV
GND = Ground (video ground to tramp)
Video = V on tramp
Audio = A on tramp
VBAT+ = any lipo voltage pad on PDB
GND = just for controller
OSD = just for the controller

Tramp hv
+ = power directly from lipo voltage
G = the Tramp has two Ground wires on the harness.
One goes to same place you got +V
Other goes to ground wire from camera

5v = 5-36v runcam
V = Video on runcam
T = not used (telemetry in future)
A = audio on runcam

XSR
GND - Ground
+5V - power from Vcc pads by sbus (I think you need to solder the 5V Vcc power select jumper pads)
S.port - not sure, don't use this myself
CPPM - no connection
S.BUS - s.bus pad on FC

take 5v from pdb and connect it to bec5v on fc

ESC "ground" is "black" and "white" is "signal".

Be sure to have your antenna connected any time you power the VTX or it will burn out.

Thanks for this link Jerry, my Skitzo FC finally just shipped out. This will come in handy.

Thanks theGreenOrange, that has cleared everything up. Now i can concentrate on getting it nice and tidy.
