Datasheet?

Hi,

I just want to know the electric consumption of this board ? (to calculate the lifespan of the 9V batery)

and about the electric consumption of servo given with the Quadripod ?

thanks.

(sorry for this poor english)

Sorry. I have no idea what the data sheet is. All that I care is that it can power a servo. :laughing:

Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s negligible when compared to the power consumption of the servos. And power consumption predictions on servos is extremely difficult because the load is constantly changing.

You shouldn’t really worry about this. All you have to do is get a rechargable battery with a charger, and you can have unlimited power for the rest of your life.

Pssst, guys, maybe he’s making a survival robot and has to know that the battery will last him a certain amount of time…
I don’t know the specs of the power consumption, but I average between 4-6 hours of run time per 9V battery.

Wow that’s a large time frame. Why don’t you just add a battery monitor. DUH.

thanks for this fun reply :slight_smile:

NickReiser :

Well enough for the survival robot :wink:

Funny thing we just added a battery monitor to our product line.

It can be configured for 4,5,6 or 7 cells. I added them to my AH3-R (Aluminum Hexapod 3-R) for the Logic and Servo batteries. They work very well. :smiley:

The SSC-32 draws 39mA with the status LED on and 31mA with the status LED off. The outputs are good for 250mA - 39mA = 211mA for driving peripheral devices. A 422 servo draws 9.5mA idle, and can draw 800mA under a large load. Hope this helps!
