Why am I seeing lines in the video with my tbs electronics PowerCube Remote Control?

  Tyrone RamirezAug 1, 2025
  If you are experiencing lines in the video, it could be due to an interruption in the 5V and 12V supply line. Try soldering the 6 pin headers that connect the power distribution board with the TBS DCDC, especially on the TBS DCDC side. Alternatively, high-draw R/C receivers or telemetry devices may be introducing interference. In this case, place an LC filter in line with the FPV transmitter line. For very noisy R/C receivers like the FrSky X4RSB or D4R-II, power the receiver from a separate 5V supply.

What to do if I only see static on receiver with tbs electronics PowerCube Remote Control?

  If you're only getting static or no video on your receiver with the TBS electronics Remote Control (PDB V1 only), verify that you have a working 5V and 12V supply. Use a multimeter to measure on the dedicated 5V/12V/GND pads near the BST connector.
