Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the benefit of using a 100A current sensor like the Mauch HS-100-LV compared to a 50A sensor?

Ans. A 100A current sensor like the Mauch HS-100-LV is essential for drones and robotics that experience higher current draws, typically found in larger, more powerful multirotors or fixed-wing aircraft. While a 50A sensor would max out and potentially give inaccurate readings under higher loads, the 100A sensor provides precise and reliable data across a wider operational current range, critical for accurate flight time estimations and battery health monitoring.

Q2. Is the Mauch HS-100-LV Sensor Board directly compatible with all flight controllers?

Ans. The Mauch HS-100-LV Sensor Board outputs analog voltage signals. While some flight controllers have generic analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs that could potentially read these signals, for optimal performance and plug-and-play compatibility with popular autopilots (like Pixhawk, CubePilot), it is highly recommended to pair this sensor board with a dedicated Mauch Power Module (e.g., PL-100 or another compatible PL-xxx series). The Power Module converts the analog data into digital formats (like UAVCAN, I2C, or optimized analog) that flight controllers can easily interpret.

Q3. What kind of low-voltage (LV) battery configurations is this 100A sensor typically designed for?

Ans. The "LV" designation for the Mauch HS-100-LV means it's designed for battery configurations commonly found in medium to large hobbyist and professional drones, generally up to 6S LiPo. This translates to nominal voltages of approximately 7.4V (2S) to 25.2V (6S). It's crucial for users to confirm the specific maximum voltage stated in Mauch's official documentation to ensure compatibility with their battery setup.
