Hoverfly How many amps does the HF Pro board draw?

[Aerovideo]

I've got one of the original Green HF Pro boards hooked up to my HF GPS board but I have to use the LC Filter since the green board doesn't have built in power filter. I also need to filter the power to my FPV camera/Transmitter. The VTx draws 500mA and the LC filter can provide 1Amp max, can I split the output on that for both the FPV gear and the HFPro+GPS board or do I need 2 LC filters, ughhh... Man I wish my Black board hadn't died

Please help...

If I'm not mistaking it's 160mA. Certainly less than 500mA.

Paul this is a good one for George or Al at HF. But it won't be just the board drawing power. I would expect that you have loads for imbalance, if used, GPS board, etc that would add to it. And depending on your lipo size you can probably put more than 1 amp throughput sine the rating is at 25 volts.

Thanks George for the specs, I feel better knowing I'll be under an amp. Thanks also to Gary, I went ahead and threw caution to the wind and did a test hover tonight and all went well. Next I need to check the clarity of the video signal while the motors are running to make sure the LC filter is doing its job. I have a 4s to 3s stepdown before it hits the LC filter as my video Tx can only handle 12v.
