Introduction

• 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

  • 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

  • this convo

  • 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
