Cell Monitor

  • status

    • not started

  • who

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

    • @Nathan Green architecture support

    • @Ryan Scomazzon expressed some interest

    • @Mena Azab expressed some interest

  • what

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

    • temperature monitoring with thermistors in the pack

    • could have a pre-charge controller on it, but maybe too complicated

    • current sense could be nice, but also don’t wanna tap the main power connection if not required

    • CAN functionality

  • why

    • more detailed battery performance metrics

    • designed around custom batter pack

  • context

    • MNS has custom battery pack modules we could look at for reference, but weight is much more of a concern for us
