Hello,

Anyone seen some clever power management/distribution system for robotics?

I haven’t found anything I’m happy with even as a “good enough” solution.

If I could have all my wishlist items in one it’d be:
common connector input for something like an 4S-8S LiPo. (XT60)
Fused at the battery input on board.
An i2c current sensor and maybe a voltage divider with i2c AD for voltage.
Some kind of 4-6 outputs for battery voltage for motor drivers. Maybe with relays in N.C. To power off outputs if voltage drops too low... but not to a 5VDC output logic.
5V 3A out
6A for servos
12VDC just in case?
Nice terminals like power poles or whatever so you can quick disconnect for the motor power...

I haven’t found anything out there that fits the bill... unless I make it myself.

Chas
