I just bought the Quadrino Nano for a custom Y6 AP build. Can the Quadrino Nano battery monitoring be used for a 4s battery? If so, does the board have to be re-configured when changing from a 3s to a 4s?

@Garry Laufer,
Using a 4s will not be a problem, you will however need to rework the VBAT SCALE factor in WinGUI so it match your voltage input. Use the method shown above and you should be fine.
If you don’t mind, you can post some info about your project on RobotShop Forum.

Eric,
Thanks for the prompt reply! I assume I would have to change the warning level values, also? I am sure I could look up the 4s values online, but you wouldn’t happen to know them off the top of your head, would you? I really appreciate the very prompt help! Already thrilled with the purchase, and still have 4 days to delivery!! Gary

@Gary Laufer,
The values need to be changed to a 4S battery as warnings are in voltage. (100 = 10V if scale is right)
You can use the default 3S values and convert them to 4S like this:
107 / 3 = 35.67
35.67 * 4 = 143

Eric,
As always, thanks for the reply. I’ll note the values for entry when I am setting up the FCT.

Eric,
Sorry for posting here, but I couldn’t find any other way to contact you. Could you look at:


and reply (especially to the first post re: EZ Connect wiring harness?
Thanks!

@Gary Laufer We have contacted the original designer to see if he can offer any additional input. He will likely reply on the forum directly.

Coleman,
Thank you! Flying Einstein, I assume??
Cheers!

Hi, I am planning to buy this Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano. Problem is that I want to use 6s lipo batteries (22.2V). Can this be done?

@Dieter, There are not real problem using the Quadrino Nano on a 6S LiPo setup. Most setup use the internal voltage regulator (BEC) of one of the ESC to supply the 5V needed to power the Quadrino Nano.
