Pixhawk Current Analysis

Current maximums are taken from the devices listed in Big Quad 2025 - SysInt - WARG

Available Current

  • 1.5A current lim for telem1 port

  • 1.5A current lim for all other ports combined

Connected Device Maximums

  • GPS (x2)

    • 200mA x2 = 400mA

  • PWM/GPIO pins

    • Negligible current, mostly signals

  • VTX

    • 300mA (rounded up from 280 specified)

  • LED Board Rev4

    • 60mA per LED x10 = 600mA

    • STM32 abs max 100mA (but we shouldnt get near that)

      • Realistically around 5mA. Consider it negligible

  • Diversity RX

    • On Telem 1, which has its own current limit.

  • Rangefinder

    • ≤ 70 mA avg at 12V

    • 100mA peak

PDB Current Analysis
