QAV250 "Fury" Power Distribution Board
QAV250 "Fury" Power Distribution Board
Looking for a QAV250 Power Distribution Board (PDB) to get an integrated FPV setup and simple R/C wiring? This board, nicknamed "FURY", provides upgraded power distribution with current sensing, filtered power to the A/V equipment and option to install a TBS CORE module, while also adding rigidity to the airframe.
The ESCs are soldered to the the board (all wires), making the board layout very tidy and modular. It is designed with the OpenPilot flight controller in mind, requiring only two cables to install the flight system and another two cables (included) to finish the FPV system.
In front of the board is a spot to install an optional TBS CORE module. This provides separation between the FPV system and R/C flight system - which is known to produce noise and cause video interference. It also provides a simple and very handy OSD (On-Screen Display) to read battery consumption, voltage and receiver signal strength. The board can also be set up to work stand-alone (without CORE).
The camera and video transmitter plugs easily into the sockets with the provided cables, there are also solder pads to connect wires directly. Several auxiliary power ports make it easy to hook-up alarms, beepers, video transmitters, etc.
It is made of the same high strength fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate as the stock PDB. All the components are protected inside the "cavity" on the QAV250 platform. Two additional mounting holes in the front gives extra rigidity.
