    you do not need a power extender with the PC 3.0. The manual will show you how to wire it on page 28 for a simple FoC set up. You also have two resistors on the main led's which you have wired together in series, which you do not do, and don't need in the first place. The Petit Crouton has a built-in driver that will control the current for the led's without the need for resistors. The current is adjustable via R.I.C.E. or on the SD card. Also, where the manual says to bridge the pads for the on board power extenders, it does not mean you bridge them together like you have drawn. You only bridge the pads together for each power extender separately, and then you use the appropriate resistor in-line to the white FoC die on the Rebel.

    The switch led you have wired to the FoC1 pad isn't going to work, either. That needs to be wired to one of the accent led pads, like the secondary switch is in your diagram.

    Unless you plan to remove the power regulator from the board, in the 3.7volt hack as described on page 33 in the manual, you are going to need a 7.4volt battery pack to power it.

    Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.

    (( I will make these changes.))

    ((Only the pads are bridged....they are not bridged together its only "labeled" to describe the pads are bridged...I can remove the lines.

    The switch led you have wired to the FoC1 pad isn't going to work, either. That needs to be wired to one of the accent led pads, like the secondary switch is in your diagram.

    ((Ok I will make this change))

    I will make a change to the 7.4 battery pack...the online resistor wizard was telling me that it needed the 3.7 volt...but I originally wired for 7.4

    I will do a new diagram and re post...thank you Jay-gon Jinn!
