/!\ '''Attention:''' The XL powerboards are designed for the '''BL-Ctrl1.2'''! But you can also use the BL-Ctrl2.0 on it.<<BR>><<BR>>

= Okto Power Distribution =
The Okto Power distributor provides the BL controller with power and connecting the I2C bus for communication.<<BR>>
You can install BL-Ctrl1.2 or BL-Ctrl2.0. The assembly is identical.<<BR>>
The BL controllers are mounted in the recesses of the distribution board and connected by wire bonds.<<BR>>
/!\ The top of the distribution board is marked with "+".<<BR>><<BR>>
== Arrangement of the BL controller ==
The BL-controllers are arranged as shown here in the distribution board (clockwise BL-Ctrl Nr. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8). <<BR>>
'''The processors and the solder connections for the motor have to show up at all controllers.'''<<BR>> <<BR>>
/!\ Also the (red)BL-Ctrl1.2 can be installed in the power distribution. The BL-Ctrl1.2 for the number 5-8 have a [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=397|Special Software]]! In the shop, the BL-Ctrl with the special software have a white dot on it. <<BR>><<BR>>

{i} The capacitors for the regulator 6 and 8 can be attached to the underside of the distributor. Then the 10+6-pin connector to the NaviCtrl can be inserted easily.<<BR>>
== Assembly of the Molex connector ==
For this purpose you should use a fine tip. The first one is a solder pad on the distribution board and solder then Molexbuchse fixed thereto. This is to cater to the remaining contacts are soldered. <<BR>><<BR>>
/!\ The contacts may have no connection with each other!
'''The FlightCtrl is connected over the Molex socket with power, I2C-bus and the Buzzer.''' <<BR>> <<BR>>
{i} Tip: Excess solder can be removed perfectly with solder wick. If the mounting of the Molex socket fails, the PCB can be gently heated from the bottom with a heat gun and the socket be released.<<BR>><<BR>>

== Assembly of the bridges ==
8 bridges have to be assembled on the distribution board. <<BR>>

=== check for shortcut ===
The bridges may not have contact against each other or against plus or minus.<<BR>>
Measure with a multimeter: against each other and against plus and minus it must have high resistance.<<BR>><<BR>>
/!\ If the current distribution completely soldered incl. Bl-Ctrl, you should make the same measurement again! Be sure that no short circuit exist. <<BR>> <<BR>>

== Solder Elkos ==
The BL-Ctrls are connected via the wires of the Elko (capacitors). The Elkos are assembled from the top of teh distribution board.<<BR>>
The Elko-wires are to be bent over and put (and soldered) through the + and - solder-pads of the BL-Ctrls.<<BR>>
Solder these pads from both sides of the distributor! <<BR>><<BR>>
/!\ MINUS (marked on each Elko) goes to the outer sides - do not mix plus and minus here!<<BR>>
/!\ a lot of heat has to be used on the distribution board to make a perfect connection <<BR>>

== Connect the batterie cable ==
On the large "+" and "-" solder pads connect the cable for the Lipo. With a cable tie the cable can be fixed to the power distributor.

== Connect the Buzzer ==
/!\ The buzzer is sold through a cable and, for example mounted on the end of a rigger. If you mount the buzzer to close to the FlightCtrl (or on the FlightCtrl), the function of the MK3Mag can be disturbed!<<BR>><<BR>>
* Buzzer plus = red cable = "Buzz"
