New APM 2.5 Cases & New Power Module

[Jumpy07]

Some parts arrived from BYOD this morning, again great service from Martin.

This is the new case for the APM 2.5, two models.. one side and one top entry.. also supplied with foam insert for baro. Its very nice and fits well. There is a recess for the reset button.



The new APM 2.5 power board provide a number of functions, it essentially and Ubec on an Attopilot, so will provide current and voltage measurement and also power the APM 2.5. When installing you need to remove JP1 so that the BEC';s in the ESC';s don';t supply the board. This gives a much cleaner supply to the board and minimises brown outs. It comes in two versions.. XT60 or Deans.. unfortunately I use 4mm Bullet Style connectors on my Turnigy Batt';s..

Specifications:
Max input voltage: 18V
Max current sensing: 90A
Voltage and current measurement configured for 5V ADC
Switching regulator outputs 5.3V and 2.25A max
6-pos DF13 cable plugs directly to ArduPilot Mega 2.5';s ';PM'; connector
