Battery eliminator elimination


Well, the BEC handles the HS-65's easily. The inductor still gets hot, but not even close to the LM7805. Took 2 hours to fit the BEC on the main board & rebuild everything and then it was time to start driving back to Silicon Valley.

PWM constants were rewritten to try to reduce jitter. Another round of engine mode tests is required. Then the IMU has to be calibrated because yaw is now 100% software.

Getting both stable placement & cushioning for the IMU seems impossible on a Taiwannosaurus. There's not enough room for foam like there was on the Corona.

Realize that the Castle BEC can be reprogrammed with the castle link to have other output voltages. Requires the castle USB adaptor.
