Assembling full rover circuit

[pablo-collantes]

Battery: 24 volt custom battery with an xt-90 male? connector

What Battery power splits off to (for right now):

24v - 12v DC-DC converter:

• input from split off connector of battery, output is the 12 volt relay board that feeds to our batteries and esc.

PCB Power Distribution Board:

• This board is typically used to control the 24v input to the ADJ output which drops it to ~22v 3 amp output

Science Stepper Controller Board:

• This output generally just needs 12v but can handle max 24v (might be able to be powered off 12v relay board)

ARM Motors and Motor Controllers:

• (TBD) Arm motors not selected yet, base motors hopefully just take 24v straight but end effectors might be powered by NEMA 17 steppers so additional stepper controller board inputting 12v also be used)

USB Hub:

• This usb hub will mostly be used for peripherals like cameras and microcontrollers that communicate to rover pc through serial. Hub currently picked out will take 12v 5 amp most likely also powered off relay board.

WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW:

• Wire DC-DC converter to relay board and have an xt-60 for adding it to battery circuit

• Create a circuit to split power from battery to DC-DC and PCB Power Distro Board

• Redo Battery / secure connections and wrap
