Hi people,

I'm working on a University project for a competion involving autonomous flight (but that's another story) and we've got 8 digital servos (Hitec 5925) on an aircraft. What batteries would be best? Due to the design of this turbofan machine, the servos will all be constantly stressed quite close to their max. (testing will reveal if we need stronger servos). The batteries will also be driving 4 spark plugs. Would NiCad batteries be enough? And if so, what's the minimum amperage I'd be looking for? The voltage to the servos will be regulated at 5 volts since it first enters a PWM board which controls the servos.

Thanks,

Marcus
Take the time to give Bryan or Kevin a call at Skyborn Electronics (PowerfLite). PowerfLite in most cases offers an educational discount for projects such as your's. I would recommend one of the PowerfLite Multi Voltage Modules (MVM) Systems. If that cannot handle your needs, then we can always custom build something that WILL. Drop them an email ... [email protected] ... or call them at 972-267-5099. Both Kevin and Bryan are former Raytheon gurus. Kevin LOVES to do unique products for special applications.
