Component Questions. Building a bigger drone with BigQuad Deck

[RifRaf]

I'm trying to build a drone using the big quad expansion deck. I'm fairly new to the drone scene, so I'd like to ask for help in building it since I might do something improperly and break the drone.

Crazyflie 2.0
BigQuad Deck

ESC: 20A Lighting BL Heli Emax


Motor: RS2205S- 2300KV


Battery: 11.1v 60v 1100mAH Lithium-ion Polymer


My main concern is with the batteries. I plan to make a adapter for the battery's plug since it doesn't fit with the CF. The CF's original battery is approximately just 3.7v.

-Will the crazyflie and BigQuad deck be able to handle the difference? Should I be concerned with breaking anything if used the 11.1v battery to directly connect to the jack of the Crazyflie?
- Since the ESC doesn't have a built in BEC, Do I still need some sort of BEC or will the BigQuad deck handle that for us?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome! You have some fun in front of you.

The Crazyflie battery port can only handle up to 4.2V (LiPo) so you will need a BEC that you connect to one of the 5V inputs on the BQ-deck. See the example connection diagram.

Thank you tobias. We'll do just that.
