Hi Jean,

Those are 3 different pcb's. OSHpark is using 1.6mm FR4 material.
And no, it is real DIY.

Hi Menno

I like your PCB solution alot. Maybe a mix of PCB and 3D print would be the best solution. The PCB's are easy to connect and very precise, the 3D gives freedom of shape.

Cheers

Totally agreed Christof, the PCB solution is more DIY and fiddling compared to your excellent power ring, although I can't complain @$7 for 6 arms and couple of hours of work..

Hi,

is there a way to get those two boards "Baro2Cursens bob" and "AutoQuad CAN & UART2 breakoutboard" with all components already soldered?
I have no possibility to solder SMD and my solder equipement is rather basic: 50W solderstation.
Would be greta if I could get those boards so I can use HoTT native telemetry on AQ.

Although I like Menno's AQ6 extension board I couldn't use it because I use different connectors on my quads. That's why I ended up with my own one.

Here are the details of the board:
- 53x53mm
- ProMicro based to use Menno's Mav2Hott Software
- 12V/1A DC/DC
- 5V/3A DC/DC
- 3.3//0,5A DC/DC
- Current sensor interface
- HOTT port
- X-BUS interface to connect to TM1000 - for Spektrum telemetry (I2C bus bus with level shifter, hopefully supported in the near future)

Will have to make some minor fixes on the silkscreen layer and then I will order the PCB at OshPark (around $22 for 3 pcs),

Anything more to add?
