Most Electronic Speed Controllers(ESC) actually provide the necessary power with an onboard Battery Eliminator Circuit(BEC) via the 3 pin cables that get plugged into the PCA9685, so it is generally not necessary to provide power directly to VIN. * All GND must be common ground. On the GPIO it is usually easiest to use GPIO board pin 09 for ground. Once again the 3 pin cables from the ESC carry ground and the PCA9685 connects this to the GPIO via the GND pin. ```
