Ellison Chan replied to Toby Stein's discussion 'Did I blow my outputs?'

The problem is a myth. As Chris said above, the worse that happens is you cause a brown out on the APM board. This is because the USB is not able to power the board and the ESCs at the same time. What may happen with the fast…

Done, everything is well connected and working as supposed

If it says "The USB port is drawing too much power" that means that you created a short in your soldering. This is VERY BAD. Go back and check all connections before plugging it in again.

Mickele replied to Toby Stein's discussion 'Did I blow my outputs?'

Hmm, I did not read the 3 pages, so excuse me and ignore if I am saying something wrong. I had the same problem several times, disconnecting the battery and forgetting the USB, though I never fried anything because my PC cuts off the power on the…

check out Pink floyd's version of blimp duino.. this thing hovered just above my head inside the Staples Center L.A. for Roger Waters "The Wall"...I seen it and thought to myself, Pigduino! :)

Chris Anderson replied to Toby Stein's discussion 'Did I blow my outputs?'

It can't. People were confused. The worst you can do is temporarily brown out the board. Plugging in the LiPo will return it to regular operation.
