Just 'Cuz Robotics has designed a helpful, functional, compact, lightweight PCB to make wiring your bots, simple, easy, and less error-prone.
Features:
- Convenient plated slots for Fingertech Mini Power Switch, or to run wires for your own switch/link, to disconnect battery voltage from all devices
- Switch/link connection connects battery positive to all other connector positive terminals, VBat pin, and the corresponding copper pad underneath. Must be shorted with 18AWG or larger wire for testing without a switch/link.
- Massive copper pads on the underside for increased current-carrying and heat dissipation
- Convenient mounting points for up to four XT30 or XT30U connectors! Battery, Weapon, and two drive sides (I recommend using Male for Battery and Female for others on the board)
- Clearly marked orientation for connectors to avoid reverse polarity ruining your parts
- Use any connector or combination of direct soldering and connectors
- Can connect as many other devices as you wish to the copper pads under the board - no need to use just four!
- Convenient 3-pin header location for connecting a BEC or battery voltage tolerant receiver* with a standard servo plug [connect red + and black (- or G) wires only] (pins not included)
- No need for a messy wire 'squid' to wire all your ESCs!
- Convenient M2 mounting screw holes to hold down the board or attach a cover
- Size is just 32mm x 20mm or 1.26" x 0.77"
- The bare board weighs only 2 grams, XT30U connectors add ~1 gram each
- Clear labels for all components and pins for easy assembly and troubleshooting
- 3D model access included here in all formats
Fingertech power switch is not included - buy those here.
*Some receivers such as the Flysky FS2A and iA6B can take up to a 2S lipo voltage (8V) directly. Most however will require a BEC to regulate the battery voltage down to 5V. Note that connecting a receiver + pin (typ. red wire) to a voltage higher than its rating may damage it, and Just 'Cuz Robotics is not responsible for damages caused by improper use or user error.
Warning: combat robots are not toys! They are extremely dangerous. Click here for a safety video.
While this PCB is designed to safely operate inside a combat robot, it may get very hot. Touching it during, or shortly after operation, can result in serious burns.
WARNING: The bottom of the board has exposed copper regions that, if in contact with a conductive surface, can short circuit. Do not secure this board directly to a conductive metal plate, and ensure that an insulative spacer (electrical tape, hot glue, plastic cover) is used before connecting a battery if resting on a conductive surface. These regions are exposed to allow easy soldering to the underside of the board, but they are separated for a reason!
