APM/Pixhawk Power Module with XT60

A flight controller needs stable, clean power that a raw LiPo battery's fluctuating voltage can't provide directly, and this module solves both that and a second problem at once - regulating battery voltage (6-30V, covering 2S to 8S packs) down to a steady 5.3V while simultaneously measuring both voltage and current draw through its onboard sensing circuitry. That dual function is exactly why it's called a power module rather than just a voltage regulator: the flight controller gets clean power AND real-time battery telemetry from the same connection.

Current sensing up to 90A covers genuinely high-draw multirotor setups without saturating, and the 6-pin cable plugs directly into APM or Pixhawk's dedicated power module port, while an additional 4-pin row of unterminated connections supports wiring into other flight controller families that don't have a matching dedicated port. Battery voltage and current data flowing back to the flight controller is what powers accurate remaining-flight-time estimates and low-battery warnings during a flight.

Common uses are powering APM and Pixhawk flight controllers cleanly from a LiPo battery while getting accurate voltage/current telemetry, any open-source autopilot build needing genuine battery monitoring rather than a simple voltage divider, and general drone power wiring wanting a purpose-built module rather than assembling regulation and sensing separately.
