Hi all,Can someone recommend a UBEC that will give me 2.25a at 5v from a 6-8S pack? And will the APM still be able to do voltage monitoring on it?I have the 3DR module, but it only supports 4S; ill probably fry it if I use 6S.
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Jokingly - but actually quite seriously - my wishlist for APM3.0 goes as follows:
- Power module support up to 8S
- Power module to include 4mm bullet connector option as well as Deans and XT60.
- 2 x PWM ports on APM and 2 matching outputs on power module. One for input rail, one for output rail (with corrospondingly higher amp output). One could even be a fully fledged BEC..?
- An extra power module option that has parallel inputs (it would significantly reduce my power cable clutter)
- MP Terminal mode via USB at anytime, not just boot up, and even if radios are connected.
- Gimbal control upgraded to include brushless as well as conventional servo, or ability to feed telemetry (and power?) to external controller
- LED control to be...better, including an FAA compliant mode
- Optical Flow inputs to re-arranged to use standard servo cables (x2 as need be) or a standard 2x3
- Sonar kit to include built-in power filter resistor & capacitor and 3 wire shielded as standard (one for Maxbotix, not 3DR!)

I have the same issue.

I have a couple of these on the way, not many do 6S: UBEC
Hopefully they work OK
