What
power supply for RPi 5
simple buck sized for the Pi
reverse polarity protection
input voltage range idk, but make it flexible for our drone
RPi 5 is a lot of power
JST GH connector 1:1 to pixhawk
either straight UART to pixhawk
could be CAN with a quick CAN to UART adapter as well
this isn’t rlly neccessary if the pi is gonna be next to the pixhawk but is an option that may help for integration
would use common CAN circuit from ESC CAN Adapter
review other feature ideas with autonomy team
Context
similar to how
Unified Video System makes the video system harness situation simplified
RFD900 JST adapter makes RFD have a 1:1 harness
this project will make RPi easier to use on drone and harder to mess up
Why
locking connector
reliable 1:1 connector
When
low priority but could be pretty nice win on integration side!
