Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the advantage of the "CFK enclosure" on the Mauch PL-100 Sensor Board?

Ans. The CFK (Carbon Fiber Composite) enclosure provides superior protection for the Mauch PL-100 Sensor Board. It offers excellent durability against physical impacts, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is crucial in a drone environment. This robust housing ensures the sensitive electronics within are well-protected, leading to more reliable and consistent performance of your current and voltage telemetry.

Q2. Is the Mauch PL-100 sensor compatible with all flight controllers that have a power module input?

Ans. The Mauch PL-100 provides analog voltage outputs for current and voltage, which are widely compatible with flight controllers that have dedicated power module analog input pins, such as most Pixhawk and CubePilot series autopilots. While it's broadly compatible, always consult your specific flight controller's manual to ensure proper pin connections and scaling factor configuration for accurate readings in the firmware (e.g., ArduPilot or PX4).

Q3. How does the Mauch PL-100 contribute to longer or safer drone flights?

Ans. The Mauch PL-100 contributes to longer and safer drone flights by providing highly accurate, real-time current and voltage telemetry. This data allows the flight controller to precisely monitor battery consumption, remaining capacity, and voltage levels. With accurate information, pilots can make informed decisions about flight duration, avoid over-discharging batteries, and respond to low-battery warnings promptly, significantly reducing the risk of unexpected power loss and improving overall flight safety.
