Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Issues with Power for Yapa2

The problem that we are facing is when we connect the 8 Channel PPM Encoder to the Yapa2. We are using a 5 V battery to power the servos, the encoder and the receiver. Everything works perfect for a few minutes and then the PPM Encoder shuts down and the receiver as well not allowing us to switch modes (Auto1, Auto2, Manual) anymore. We think that it has something to do with too much current being sucked out of the battery causing the PPM Encoder to shut down. For this we are using the Jumper on the PPM Encoder board since the encoder, the servos and receiver work at the same voltage. Would you recommend not using the Jumper of the PPM Encoder and powering the receiver and encoder separately form the servos?

Para rango de voltajes de la Yapa, mira el DN. Ahí está detallado según Christophe.

Dear everyone,

We have been performing some tests to our system and we have found that there are some issues related to power. Here are a couple questions we have for you.

- What is the range of voltages where the Yapa2 works fine?
- If we change the low battery warnings on the airframe file, do this have any effect on the performance of the autopilot or this is just to let the user know what is the battery level on board?

Best Regards,
