Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Hello everybody, using UAV is the main aspect of my job, I do have a good knowledge for many applications such as topography, precison farming, territorial marketing ecc...right now I'm envolved in a personal project trying to build up my own drone, probably this is the main reason I'm here trying to get good ideas for my own purpose.

Hello everybody,I'm trying to switch on/off some leds using switch relay.I need to turn a relay on or off based on the PWM value.5v are provided to Aux ports using an external BEC which also performs the function of secondary power supply.I've read…

hello, lately I have experienced this problem, all happened after installing a 5v supply ubec on pixhawk servo port, I have also installed a zener diode 5.6 V 5W  and a 1000 μF capacitor to smooth the signal. I have checked my log to see if I can…

"Hi Carlos,
at last I succeed on make it working, basically I was trying to invoke AT indoor and this gets rejected by pixhawk, you need to go outdoor and try, in this case you won't have problem.

Anyway I'd like to understand better what you have listed on your table, expecially:

Battery o PDB

"Hi Forrest,
as far as concern my drone:

- at hover it needs an average of 22 amps
- the 14 awg it is very short (1 inch) and it is used to connect the power module to the PDB, PM has 13 AWG.
- I have also 18 AWG that run from PDB to ESC
- it is an…"

"Hi Clifton,
yes indeed you are right. may it be considered a power module backup, just in case I am using it. Do you agree? 
Should I use a zener diode to eliminate sudden peak voltage? 
Which port should I use for UBEC and Zener?
