| Title |
XGuard Robotics LiPo charger board |
| Supervisor |
Alex Gendron & Christopher Trueman |
| Description |
Research and Develop a prototype of a LiPo charger that can interface with a microcontroller. Charger should work for a 3s LiPo of 5000mAh capacity, and charging should be under 1.5 hours for full capacity.
Constant current, constant voltage with balanced charging is expected, Charger should be able to communicate with an Arduino Mega microcontroller to transmit battery state of charge, charging current, charging voltage and to start / stop the charging process. All related safety circuitry and procedures must be considered as LiPo batteries are a fire risk.
For a larger team : additional serial interface, with plots of battery charging and state of charge, to use with a computer is a nice to have but not a requirement.
