ZMR250 V2 w/ New PDB Released

FPV Model is glad to annouce that the PDB of ZMR250 V2 now has been upgraded from V1.0 to V1.2.

We have taken the advise of many and reworked the PDB. It now features ESC pads on the top and bottom of the board. Traces and main power distribution have been routed in a manner to avoid running under the arms. Optional 12V regulator w/ built in LC filter is now available.

Besides, the issue of misaligned MinimOSD solder pins that may exist in the previous version now solved. Also, the arms for fitting 2204/2206 motors are selectable.

Except the ZMR250 V2 frame kits, FPV Model now also offer series of ZMR250 V2 ARF packages at a discounted price, including two ARF Pro packages that come with T-motor brushless motors.

Solder the pin headers onto PDB.

Install the OSD on PDB. Insert it onto the pin heads and soldered. After secured, cut off the unnecessary length of pins.

3. Install the Buzzer

Pay attention to the positive pole “+” on the buzzer.  It needs to be soldered to the buzzer location on PDB.

Cut off the unnecessary pins.



4. Install ESCs
