All-in-one sensor

Post by stefaanbolle »

I am going to try an all-in-one sensor for my 470LM (to replace 3 different FrSky sensors and interconnecting cable bundles)
Pending deliveries:
- Arduino Mini Pro 328p 3,3V with FTDI board
- BMP280
- BN220
- Hobbywing ESC Platinum v4 (already installed) connected to Arduino via PWM

In a second phase I'll add to the board additionally:
- 6S voltage measurement
- 100A/XT60 current measurement (considering HGLRX XT60 board)

Has this been done already with OpenXSensors and if so any schematics/code available?
I was thinking of using DanielG’s msrc code since he integrated Hobbywing ESC telemetry.

I expect this can be done with oXs if the esc has a RPM signal.
You can measure the total 6s voltage but if you also want to measure each individual cell, the accuracy will be limited.
There is no need for programming. Just edit 2 configuration files.

All explanations are given in the file oXs_config_description.h

Thanks, the ESC has a RPM signal output indeed.
Will give it a look!
