Step2 - OktoXL V3 Combi PCB
Now we can install the OktoXL V3 Combi PCB. The LiPo cable is guided through the recess between the arms 6+7. Fix the PCB with the 8 plastic screws.
kabelbinder Important: The arrow of the PCB is pointing to the red arm #1.

If this is done, fix the LiPo cabel with one of the bigger cable tie.
Important: As you can see in the pictures, the LiPo cable must be twisted. This prevents compass error!
What is needed:

Connect the PCB
In the next step we can connect the motors, the LED's and the buzzer with the PCB.
Important: Take a look on the pictures in which direction the plugs are connected.
Motor 1-8
The direction of rotation of each motor is determined by the plug-in order of the three cables. On the PCB you will find a note for each color you have to plug in:
1,3,5,7 => A=gray, B=blue, C=black (left turning Propeller)
2,4,6,8 => A=blue, B=gray, C=black (right turning Propeller)
(Declaration of propeller rotation direction: "Step7 - Propeller".)
TIP: If the turning direction is wrong, change only 2 of the 3 cables.
