CUAV CAN PDB Baseboard

Order the CUAV CAN PDB Baseboard - reliable power for your drone

Create a neat and reliable electronic system for your quadcopter. The CUAV CAN PDB Baseboard performs two key functions. It distributes energy from the battery to all components. It also provides communication with peripheral devices. Your build will be smarter and safer. This is the basis for a professional copter.

This device is perfectly compatible with CUAV flight controllers. It greatly simplifies the process of installing components. You can avoid webs of power cords. Each connection will be logical and reliable. This is your contribution to the cleanliness and order of the assembly.

Five main advantages of the board

• Integration of CAN bus for connecting peripherals. Allows you to connect GPS compasses and other modules.

• Efficient distribution of battery power. All components receive stable power.

• Compact and thoughtful layout. Saves valuable space inside the frame.

• Built-in BECs with different voltages. Provide 5V and 10V power for electronics.

• Easy installation and compatibility. Easily integrates with popular flight controllers.

How does this board work?

The board serves as the central hub for power and data. It receives energy directly from the power battery. Then it distributes it to all ESC controllers and other devices. At the same time, it organizes a CAN bus communication line. This allows you to connect additional smart devices.

The CAN bus transfers data between system components. It connects the flight controller to peripheral modules. For example, with a GPS receiver or telemetry system. This reduces the load on the main controller ports. You get a more flexible and expandable system.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The board has an input voltage from 7 to 60 V. This allows you to work with 2-12S batteries. BEC outputs provide stable 5V/3A and 10V/2A. The CAN 2.0 interface supports speeds up to 1 Mbit/s. Compatible with CUAV X-series and Nova controllers.

The dimensions of the device are 65x45x13 mm. The board weighs only 25 grams. The mounting holes correspond to the standard 30×30 mm. All power contacts are made of gold-plated brass. This ensures minimal resistance and reliability.

There are two LED indicators on the board. They display the status of power and CAN bus operation. Power tracks can withstand direct current up to 60A. A standard XT60 connector is used to connect the battery. All interfaces are clearly labeled on the case.
