PDB Hex Manual 1

The Mateksys PDB-HEX provides power distribution and current sensing for multirotor aircraft. It has power and signal pads to connect up to 12S lithium polymer batteries and electronic speed controllers. The quick start guide provides information on the component layout, wiring diagrams for 2-8S and 9-12S setups, and default settings for common flight controllers for voltage and current scaling.
