Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS562200
Hey folks! I want to show you my ongoing project on a selfmade quadcopter boosterpack. It's already online on hackaday but Mark Labbato asked me to upload it here as well. Thanks for that!
Even though these are already widespread, I still believe that quadcopter projects are very exciting. The possibilities to expand the existing project are immense and the associated learning possibilities are the same. I decided to create a compact booster pack out of several breakout boards. The pinout corresponds to the specification of TI lauchpads. In my case, I was looking for the LAUNCHXL F28377S.
The board includes the possibility to connect external components like for example a NRF24L01 mini pcb or a GPS module on SCIC (UART). For now there is a MPU9250 (in 4 wire SPI) and a BMP280 (I2C) solderd on the board. For power supply I am using a TI TPS562200 giving 3.3V when connected to a RC LIPO - supply jumper on the launchpad needs to be removed. Furthermore the board is designed to use it on a wide spread HJ450 quadcopter frame. The pinhole in the middle of the board provides a clean cable routing from underneath. It can carry a Flysky x6b receiver which fits exactly between the sensorboard and the launchpad.
Currently I am still testing (if do have enough freetime for this project) but if anyone is interessed in more details I would publish the documents on a later date.
I also have a question about the TPS562200, maybe someone knows advice.
Thanks.
Greetings Ben!
