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.

If you are not sure about what spare parts are required, just simply refer to the ones that included in theZMR250 V2 ARF Package.
Now lets start the building.
1. Solder the Transmitter and Camera
Cut the wires of camera to suitable length and solder them to PDB.
Red wire: Power
Black Wire: GND
Yellow: Signal
Solder the power supply wire and video wire (yellow) of transmitter to PDB.


2. Install OSD

The OSD firmware must be flashed and compatible to the Flight Controller before installation. If you don’t need to install the OSD, please just skip this step.
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
 
Solder the ESCs onto PDB.


The black wires can be parallel connected to the negative pole “-”.
 
 
5. Install Brushless Motors


The motor’s rotation direction can be changed by changing any two wires.


6. Extension


If the OSD and buzzer are installed, then you’ll need to use the supplied wires to solder onto PDB. Please take notice of wire length.


7. Install Flight Controller


Notice on the flight controller: It doesn’t require for soldering if the ESCs have no BEC. The flight controller can be powered by soldering to “5V” (circled in red).
 
 
 
8. Install ZMR250 V2 Frame
 
Important Reminder: In order to protect the PDB from short circuit, please use the supplied insulation washers when fastening arms to the PDB. 


Way to go! You’ve almost completed the ZMR250 V2 build. Power on, and you are now ready to fly!
