Cell Monitor

• status

  • unknown

  • likely not started

• who

  • @Daniel Puratich scribbled in some of the initial architecture ideas

  • @Ryan Scomazzon expressed some interest

  • @Mena Azab expressed some interest

• what

  • system to monitor the cell voltages of a battery in flight

  • maybe not a full BMS, current sense not required, no switching the battery input, just more logging

  • CAN functionality

• why

  • more detailed battery performance metrics

  • could be starting place for supporting a custom battery pack

    • custom battery pack allows us to do custom pack dimensions to optimize for airframe

• context

  • MNS has custom battery pack modules we could look at for reference

Mena Thoughts:

• Conflicting ideas above. Might be good to decide which direction we want to go towards. Is this purely for data logging or is it a starting place for a custom battery pack BMS?
