HobbyKing Quadcopter KK board setup guide

Here is a video I made to help people with setting up a new KK multicopter board. i hope it helps and please thumbs up if it did!
programing video to come soon.
My personal set up for LIGHT quads with 8x4 or 8x4.5 props.

What battery are you running in this setup Thank you.

[dhdsracer]

@boomer2282 This is ideal with a anything around 1800-2200mah 3S.

There is a new v3.0 board from hobbyking and it is said to be able to control six motors can you make a video on that board?

[dhdsracer]

@my73737373 all of the HobbyKing boards can control 6 motors but the very first required soldering. The 2.1 and 3.0 come ready for Hex or Y6 use. It's all in the firmware.

Your motor rotation configuration is exactly opposite what's specified in the guide from the FIles Tab on the HobbyKing website. Motor numbering is the same but the gude says motors 2 and 3 rotate clockwise and 1 and 4 rotate counterclockwise. Would this really make a difference?

Nice video. Very useful. Just in time when I'm going to make one. But I have some questions to ask.

1. What did you do with the 4 positive wire from the ESC. Are they all plug to the control board, or just 1.

2. What model should I choose in the Tx, airplane or helicopter with 1 servo?

3. Are you going to make a video on how to setup the control board for X configuration? Because that's what I'm going to build. I like X than +

quads must be so dangerous really!

bcoz think how many times your ep plane with 1 lethal prop

has just spun up by itself. imagine 4 props! and your face above it.

but then i have always not trusted big helis either.

Thanks for video. Amazing simple but the most usefull what I ever seen.

[my73737373]

@dhdsracer when can i get the firmware for the hex six control?

[combatxe2]

Thanks for posting this, saved me many questions on the forums. Kepp up the good work.

Can i use the same wiring on the + confirgation and use it on the x confirgation,or is it different, if so can you show me the right wiring for the x confir. Cheers.
