Supply - Robot power supply and battery charger
Status: Successfully used for Eurobot 2010 with a patch, new version to be tested.
The power supply board provides the following outputs from a 12 V lead acid battery:
- 5 V @ 3 A, for digital boards,
- 6 V @ 3 A, supposed to be used for servo motors,
- 24 V @ 1.2 A, for industrial sensors.
When an external power is plugged into the supply board, it is used to supply the robot instead of the battery. This external power is also used to charge the 12 V battery and another 24 V battery (used for high current actuators).
