Lithium ion batteries have a higher energy capacity than Lithium Polymer packs, in general. Higher capacity lithium ion packs can be designed if the current draw of the drones are known. We have built a web utility to find the right chemistry of…
BatMon v4 released One of the main challenges faced with BatMon was the installation overhead. Installing BatMon v3 took over an hour on a new battery pack. Second challenge was the cost overhead of a BMS system on each battery. We have reduced…
You can now buy BatMon enabled smart batteries off the website, saving you the engineering time for assembling your own. BatMon enabled batteries can talk with Ardupilot, Pixhawk, Arduino and ROS. BatMon enables safe and robust operation of robot…
We built BatMon for making smart batteries. BatMon can now talk with Ardupilot, Pixhawk, and ROS and enables safe and robust operation of robot using smart batteries. But there is a missing piece, a smart charger that can safely charge batteries…
BatMon is a module that connects to you batteries to "smartify" them. BatMon reads the cell voltage, current and relays it to autopilot or the onboard computers. We made a quite a bit of improvements in the latest v3 devkit. The most important is…
"We have launched the online store for batmon at rotoye.com now"
"You can check out BatMon at http://rotoye.com/"
UPDATEWe have some good news. A battery manufacturer Titan Power is working with BatMon kickstarter backers to assemble BatMon into Lithium Ion batteries for free! Backers also get a 5% discount on Titan batteries upto $1000 purchase. Now, you can…
"Batmons do not have an electronic safety cutoff. It relies on the autopilot to make the decision to land/cutoff power based on the state-of-charge data provided by Batmon"
Designing electric multicopters for a specific flight time is a complex multidisciplinary optimization problem. This short blog post is some of my thoughts on how to think about this problem. Obviously, there so many different ways of doing this and…
"You can PM me for ordering a battery. "
"Hi Thomas,
We have the "smart battery monitor" developed already
Battery alarms aren't good enough enough for accurate battery estimate"
We have the "smart battery monitor" developed already
Battery alarms aren't good enough enough for accurate battery estimate"
Over the past couple of months, we have been working on a "smartification kit" to obtain accurate state of charge for Lithium batteries. Currently most systems use voltage based capacity estimation which is inaccurate and make it hard for flyers…
