The right UBEC for powering APM from 6S

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.

  • I have the same issue.

     

    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 a couple of these on the way, not many do 6S: UBEC

    Hopefully they work OK
