Title: Power distribution filter for mini's
Post by: Gundummy on January 29, 2015, 07:45:13 AM
Stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing:

12/5v configurable and filtered.

That looks brilliant.  I for one can't wait to buy a Chinese knock off for $7.

It looks good, but I am not entirely convinced that the 12 V regulator (which looks like a linear regulator to me) will provide 600 mA at  12V out from a 6S pack. That would mean (25 V-12 V) == 13 V voltage drop and  heat disipated in the littel reg would be 13 V * 0.6 A = 8 Watts. Would prob be fine on 4S though, but would be worth testing to see how hot it gets, especially if going to more cells.

Hey I could be wrong but there just dont seem to be enough components on there for two switching regulators..

Andy

What does it matter? Unless you are using an actual TV NTSC is fine.

The OSD version arrived yesterday, doesn't look anywhere near as good quality as the atas board or as well thought out as such - but i'm sure it does the job.....

Now which one to fit in the defiance 250 mini?

Heres a closer look:
(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/ukbeast/fun/20150226_160046_zps3ztqlvaf.jpg)

Its a shame that the + & - connections are on the left and right sides of the board and have to be soldered onto a rail. (no dedicated holes in the PCB) or am i being picky? The fat capacitor on top and protruding pins may cause some installation issues for some set ups.

Thoughts?

I'm going to also assume that its a 12v cam and vtx output?  No details at all!!

Not overly impressed with the SMD work on it, looks messy.

Bang goes using it under a Naze with that massive capacitor now in the way, your going to need some size spacer to clear it.
