Hello! I’m on a MATE Ranger team, and in the past, we’ve always had super inconvenient ways of connecting all our power to the main power input from our tether. We usually use terminal blocks and screw-down connectors that are a hassle to mess with. I designed an XT60 to XT30 PDB with 12 outputs. This board was meant to support the 12v and 25amp specifications for the Ranger class of MATE. I chose XT60 to help manage heat and current better for the main power draw, and XT30 for each individual component. I also added 2 spots for capacitors to prevent brownouts on sensitive electronics like Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. I’m currently working on 3D printing a case for this board.
