Hey everyone,
I finally finished it. The ground station is done, minus some minor aesthetic touches.
I've poured so much effort into completing this rather massive project, yet I feel a hint of sorrow, now that it's over...
Anyways, I'll be keeping this one rather short, I just thought I'd drop a quick update.
I'll just quickly sum up the hardware, and components here, as well as some of the numbers, and stuff.
It runs on 120/240vac, and has a peak output of 1.8/2.4kw.
It has a fully functioning stereo sound system, with a dedicated amplifier, as well as two 12v aux sockets, 3 usb 2.0 ports, a line in, and two pairs of composite outputs.
The six switches (and single momentary button) control all of the functions of the ground station; The chargers, the display, the FPV receiver, amplifier, PC, and main system power.
There are also three meters, one for the 24v output, and the other two for the split reference/isolated 12v outputs.
Indeed it has been a legendary project. I've been building this alongside the HCT-1800, as I needed a system powerful enough to charge a pair of 6 cell 16 amp hour lipo packs.
One final note, before I wrap up...
This ground station is also future-proofed. It will work with all current fpv receiver systems, as well as the newer high resolution downlink systems, such as the ones Connex manufactures.
Anyways, that pretty much sums up the majority of it.
