2024 Competition Plan
Power:
Buck Boards (4 months)
12S to 24V Buck 1A
12S to 12V Buck 2A
Use https://www.diodes.com/assets/Datasheets/AP63356Q_AP63357Q.pdf to make custom buck board or maybe integrate with 6S PDB
6S Servo Module (4 months)
LED Driver Board (4 months)
Power Distribution Boards (PDBs) (8-12 months)
(12S-5V & 12S-12V) with on-board MCU for diagnostics (voltage & current sense)
(6S-5V & 6S-12V) with on-board MCU for diagnostics (voltage & current sense)
High Current Power Monitoring Module (6-8 months)
Single Current transformer for current sensing + ADC
Voltage ADC
Passes that data over I2C to flight controller for processing
In-rush current limiting (aka Pre-Charge) Project
As we go to 12S and we’re adding more capacitance
(this feature is also implemented in Kevin’s 6S BMS)
Possibly a 12S and 6S version
Needs research/clarification/needs analysis
COTS 6S Single Channel Motor Controller
6S Battery Management System
COTS 12S Single Channel Motor Controller
DSHOT support - Solder pad input & output
Ethan wanted to work on this board
Research into custom Li-Ion Battery Pack
We need members that are interested in doing this in order to pursue it
