PowerPuck-mini

2S Li-Ion power system for FPV goggles (allows the use of full capacity potential of li-ion cells). This is the second version whitch is much easier to build compaired to V1 (and is also much smaller).

Features:

• 9V Step-Up from a 2S source
• On/off button
• Adjustable low-voltage alarm
• LED power and capacity indicator

PARTS:

Notes: Voltage divider is currently designed for 10v max.

Additional

ASSEMBLY

  • Solder all the SMD parts and the step-up to the PCB
  • Compile and flash the code with ArduinoIDE using an ISP programmer (use the right hardware package mentioned in the code)
  • Connect to a 2S power source and test if everything is working
  • Solder on the cables, put it in the pinted case and glue it together

OPERATION

Connect the battery. The device is powered on and the LED is showing the battery status as follows:

  • GREEN: voltage is 4.20 - 3.65v per cell (full)
  • YELLOW: voltage is 3.64- 3.45v per cell (half)
  • RED: voltage is 3.44 - alarmvoltage (one third)
  • BLINKING RED and beeping: voltage is below alarm voltage

- Press the button once to toggle between ON and OFF state.
- Press the button for 2 sek. to enter the setup-menu

SETUP MENU:
Press the button to toggle between settings:

• GREEN: voltage alarm at 3.35v per cell
• YELLOW: voltage alarm at 3.25v per cell
• RED: voltage alarm at at 3.15v per cell

  • Press the button for 2 sek. to save your alarm setting and exit the setup menu
