Correct ESC Connection

Hello,

I’m using Navio2 with RPi4 to control an x configured quadcopter.

I want to ask what’s the correct way of connecting ESCs to Navio2. Should I connect all 4 BECs output or only one ?

The reason I’m asking this because on the documentation in the following link:
https://docs.emlid.com/navio2/hardware-setup/#escs

it says only one BEC output should be connected otherwise they will heat each other.

I can see all 4 BEC outputs are connected.

So which one is correct ?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum!

You can use instructions from the first link you shared so that only one ESC power wire (central) is connected to the Navio2 servo rail.
