Power servos with ESC's SBEC via Adafruit 16-Channel PWM/Ser

Post by m0n0white »

Is it safe to power servos up with ESC's SBEC instead of connecting 5v to 2.1mm DC jack or terminal block?

My ESC is a Predator 80A ESC with 7A SBEC

Yes. You should be able to just plug the 3-pin SBEC cable directly into the servo headers on the board. That will make the DC power from the SBEC available to the servos.
