Pixhawk 2.4.8 documentation for power analysis

Build DIY ROVs
1

Hello!

I am currently working with a team to build a submersible vehicle. We need to calculate a power analysis in order to determine the battery necessary. We have the current draw for the servos and will have the current information for the DC motor and other relevant parts, however I cannot find any current information about the Pixhawk 2.4.8 that we are using for the build. I was hoping that someone here may be able to help me find this information so that I can get the power analysis underway.

Thank you for your time!

Hi @lberry96, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

It doesn’t seem like the Pixhawk specifications provide power consumption data. From a general search online I found this blog post, which may at least be a useful starting point if you’re unable to measure the current usage in your particular application.

Thank you, my professor recommended using an LCR to get the measurements.
