AUAV-X1 - Part IV - some AUAV-X1 board pictures and TPS63061 scopes at different voltages and loads

Posted by Nick Arsov on April 10, 2014 at 5:50am

Hi guys,

Have some pictures of the AUAV-X1 board with connectors - top side and bottom side. Also some scopes applied - input voltage from 4V to 8VDC and different loads - 0.5A and 1A.

Some picture explanations - from top to bottom:

TPS63061_4V_1A

TPS63061_5V_0.5A

TPS63061_7V_1A

TPS63061_8V_0.5A

The temperatures are respectively - 34.5 deg C of the TPS63061, 31 deg C of the Schottky diode, 28 deg C of the inductor. They remain stable within an hour measurements. The output voltage is perfect stable - 5.05VDC. The LDO output voltages are between 3.305 and 3.312VDC respectively.

Best regards

Nick

Hi. On the front view. Avoid using red(+5V) on pink background ( use other background colour). On back view check (+3V SF). PCB view is good...

Felix, I wish they were ready to go. That is still a pre-order. The boards are flying here now, but the IMUs still need to be sent to a US surface mount vendor in order to be finished. So close, we appreciate everyone's patience.

Looking great guys! I see it's now "in stock" in the usa storefront... nice!

Hi Mark,

The SIPI color is fixed.

About the additional 8 channels - the are just "channels" for the moment. The privilege to make them PWM INs or something else I submit to you ;-) ,as I'm not so skilled in code as you are.

Best regards

Nick, those pictures are very nice. Two comments on the front view:

1) the color used for SIPI doesn't show up well on my screen

2) are "additional channels" PWM inputs?

thanks, Mark

Hi guys,

What do you think of the attached pictures....are they clear enough to be used in the manual?
Nick Arsov April 12, 2014 at 11:56pm

Yes, for sure....working on at the moment.....
titeuf007 April 12, 2014 at 3:51pm

are you going to create a little manual for you board?

Hi Nick ! It is really great to hear that AUAVX-X1 is being planned for the competition flight. When you are planning to do few informal test flights and post the results so that many people who are interested to buy it can have confidence of Hardware perfection and firmware compatibility.
