CN1 Carrier 4 - WING
ActiveRev A.1
The Carrier Board 4 for the Control N1 APM (R0036) is built for fixed-wing UAV platforms. It handles ESC power distribution with onboard BECs, supports up to two ESCs, and outputs OSD data — all in a universally mountable form factor.



Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”- Universal Mounting Standard: Compatible with standard fixed-wing airframe mounting patterns, so it drops in without custom hardware.
- ESC BEC (Dual ESC Support): Includes onboard BEC circuitry with support for up to two ESCs — useful for dual-motor configurations without an external power regulator.
- OSD Capability: Onboard OSD outputs flight data (voltage, speed, altitude, etc.) directly to an analog video feed.
- Selectable PWM Logic Level: PWM output voltage is selectable between 5V and 7.5V to match a wider range of servo and ESC signal requirements.
