AP_PERIPH CAN DIGITAL POWER MONITOR, CAN-L4-BM

• CAN-L4-BM is a ultra-precise digital power monitor based on TI INA239 & ArudPilot AP_Periph firmware.

• The resistance of this conductive path is 200 μΩ typical, providing low power loss in the application.

• With this device, No calibration required,  flight controller that support DroneCAN protocol can easily get accurate current & bus voltage readouts via CAN bus.

• Parameters

  • CAN_P1_DRIVER = 1 if attached to CAN bus1 port or CAN_P2_DRIVER = 1 if attached to CAN bus2 port

  • BATTx_MONITOR = 8 (DroneCAN-BatteryInfo)

Packing

• 1x CAN-L4-BM board

• 1x JST-GH-4P to JST-GH-4P 20cm silicon wire

Tips

• The big pad on the bottom side is a dead pad. No any circuit network on it.

• Solder the positive wires as close as possible to both sides of the current sensing resistor.

• 2 ears for mounting can be cut off if you don’t need it.

• If the CAN wires are too long, bridge the “120R” jumper.
