How to connect DJI S900 rotors to Pixhawk?

Hardware Pixhawk family

Hello!

I’m a newbie in the drone world and it would mean a lot if you’d be so kind to help me out with this issue :slight_smile:

I’ve bought a DJI S900 and a Pixhawk and everything went well up to a point. As I don’t want to mess up anything, I want to make sure what is the correct way to connect the rotors of the drone to Pixhawk.

In their assembly video, DJI shows that the “IN” port has to be connected to the “F1” from the A2 Controller. What is the correct way to map these into Pixhawk’s ports? I’ve only seen one free port, coming out from “IN”. On different websites, it shows that I have to connect each rotor into channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (or anyway, how many rotors has your machine).

I’ve also seen that they are called ESC, but on my drone I see only M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6.

Don’t look at dji video but have a look here:

Hi Paul,
I hope you got your issue worked out. I need some help with my S900. Can you tell me what Frame Type you are using for your S900? I only get all blinks and beeps from all of my ESC’s like I am using the wrong Frame type. I currently am using “X” “YA6” image
