  • 5.3DR Power ModuleThis page explains how to set up the 3DR Power Module (PM) to measure battery voltage and current consumption. The information will also be useful for setting up other types of Power Module.

  • 6.I’ve got a few comments: 1. The “safety sw” is currently disabled in our recommended parameters. The buzzer is optional. (Removed Safety Sw. connection from sht 1 and 3. Added word (optional) to buzzer on sht 1 and 3 .) pfw 2. I would recommend supplying power to the Raspberry Pi via one of the auxiliary outputs (shown on page 3 of your slides) (updated shts 1 and 3 accordingly) pfw 3. If you are planning to use a pressure sensor for depth, you will need to use the I2C expander that comes with the PixHawk to connect both the pressure sensor and GPS/compass. (Slide 5) (updated shts 1 and 3 accordingly) pfw Please let us know if you have any other questions. -Rusty
