Hi Guys
well I recently won a field box in a raffle at our RC club and went hunting for power panels, well as we all know they never have everything we are looking for in one panel :D I am currently looking for a circuit to charge the glow plug stick with current limiting / cut off when the cell gets too hot or is fully charged. I dont need fancy trickle charging or anything like that, if there is a schematic available with these features I will use this though.
Any other Ideas on would could be installed is also welcome.
Currently on the drawing board:
Smart Battery charger
DC - DC converter to supply in excess of 20v
Battery monitor for 12V battery and RX
Temp monitoring cooling circuit for the chargers etc.
charger for internal 12V battery.
Not included yet
NO glow driver as i am fussy and would like to have a "current" sensing type :)
Glow charger (top up between flights)
