Connect the B+ wire in the plug header to a battery voltage source, such as the battery + pad on your PDB or 4-in-1 ESC. Your PDB or 4-in-1 ESC may have another vBat pad that is specifically designed for powering an accessory like the Kakute F722. It’s simpler to use a dedicated pad or wire, rather than soldering to the main battery + pad.

Connect the G wire in the plug header to a Ground source, such as the battery ­ pad on your PDB or 4ni-1 ESC.
