../_images/pomegranate-systems-dronecan-power-module.png

Intelligent power monitor, accurate fuel gauge, and efficient 5V/2A power supply with a CANbus interface.

  • High-resolution current and voltage monitoring with state of charge integration.

  • Power monitoring for battery, 5V, and 3V rails.

  • Supports 2-6S batteries (6-26V) and currents of up to 100A, when actively cooled.

  • CANbus interface using DroneCAN v0 protocol (PX4 / ArduPilot Compatible).

  • Efficient 5V switching regulator provides up to 2A of low noise current.

  • Daytime visible state of charge LED

  • Electronic CANbus termination simplifies wiring.

  • Multiple modules on the same bus can monitor multiple power sources.

  • Board-mounted battery connectors and M2.5 mounting holes provide a robust battery entry point.

  • Open Source Firmware

Note

Pomegranate Systems also sell a Power Monitor, which uses the same DroneCAN interface and is offered in low (40A), standard (80A) and high (120A) current variants, but has no onboard 5V regulator and so requires an independent 5V supply. Check the availability of both parts before ordering.
