Cube Orange Plus Shutdown when Holybro Remote ID Connected

Hello,

I have a Cube Orange+ that I am utilizing. When I connect the flight controller to power the flight controller starts up just fine.

As soon as I plug the Holybro Remote ID module into the GPS2 specifically, the flight controller basically shuts down all power to ports. I have no idea why it is sensitive to a connection to the GPS2 port, I am hoping someone can shed some light on this.

Again, note that I am only changing the input port on the flight controller and nothing else. Immediately, the light blue LED indicators come on and the flight controller eventually shuts down power to the rest of the ports.

All the 5v supplies on the Cube carrier board share one common supply, except for the Telem1 (it has it’s own). So it sounds to me like the remote id module, along with whatever else is plugged in is overloading the power supply.

You are correct, I unplugged my telemetry module on TELEM2 then moved the connection back over to GPS2 and it worked fine.

With 2.5A being allocated to the Cube Orange + I would have figured what I have connected would be well below the budget. I guess I was mistaken!
