Essentially a revived and update version of this project: Drone Power Routing Board
What:
Basically a PCB that acts as a wire
See https://oscarliang.com/race-wire/ for an idea of what we’re trying to do here
As opposed to the old version above, this project will have multiple smaller PCBs instead of one huge one
Can’t go on arms bc the PCB would be too long to manufacture
Status LEDs to show when circuit is live?
No connectors just solder pads (except connectors at battery)
Can handle necessary current
Shaped to airframe
Why:
More surface area for same weight of copper
Easier to swap out motors
Can never get cut, clip with something etc
If designed well, has convenient, stable connection points between important parts of system
minimize connectors
easier to inspect all solder joints
honestly just looks clean af
Who:
To be assigned
When:
Assembled and tested in F24?
Plan:
More thought needs to be put into how this system will fit on our airframe
Everything it will connect to etc
