Hello Simple FOC Community!
I purchased some of the Arduino hat boards from SimpleFOC and now im trying to figure out how I will power my project.
Background: I’m building a robot that will have a Jetson Nano brain. It will be rather lightweight (like 1-2 lbs maybe lighter), and it will only run on carpet and tile indoors. The SimpleFOC board is definitely overkill for me but I really want to achieve a high level of control for my little robot.
I would like the charger and batteries to be integrated into my robot so I was looking at boards like this and this
the later looks smarter but the former looks like its made to charge and regulate some power.
I was also wondering if I could just use a usb battery bank if it has PD out? There are break out boards with pd triggers on them available for cheap.
Does anyone have some suggested readings I should look at on batteries? My questions are all over the place because I totally don’t know anything about using batteries like this.
