The Readytosky APM power module gives your APM 2.6 or Pixhawk clean, efficient power. It provides stable voltage regulation and current monitoring so that the flight controller and its accessories get the power they need.
It connects to the flight controller through a 6-position DF13 cable, which removes complicated wiring. It accepts up to 6S LiPo batteries and provides a consistent 5.3V output at up to 3A.
The module measures current consumption and battery voltage, so you can make informed decisions about flight time, and it is enclosed in shrink tubing for protection.
Effortless integration: connects through the 6-pos DF13 cable.
Versatile power source: accommodates up to 6S LiPo batteries.
Comprehensive monitoring: measures current consumption and battery voltage.
Efficient regulation: 5.3V output with a 3A maximum.
Robust protection: enclosed in shrink tubing.
A power module sits between the flight battery and the rest of the aircraft. It does two jobs: a built-in regulator (a BEC) converts the battery voltage to a clean 5V-class supply for the flight controller, and a current and voltage sensor reports how much power the aircraft is drawing. The flight controller uses the readings for battery-level warnings, failsafe decisions and flight logs.
For the readings to be trustworthy, the flight controller's battery monitor needs to be set up for the module. Enter the correct voltage and current scaling values, and compare the reported voltage with a multimeter at the battery to calibrate it. A wrong scale factor can make a battery look fuller or emptier than it really is.
Do not use the regulator to power servos or other high-current devices unless the manual says it can, because a heavy load can pull the supply down and reset the flight controller. Keep the module cool and make sure that the solder joints and connectors are secure, because this part carries the full current of the aircraft.
