Breakdown of power consumption

This post breaks down the detailed power consumption of quadrotor that I am building to estimate the flight time and plan the purchase of batteries accordingly.

Power consumption parts of our drone include;

  • Pixhawk flight controller (mRo pixhawk 2.4.8)
  • Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs)
  • Motors (T Motor Navigator MN2212 V2.0 920KV)
  • Onboard computer (Jetson Nano in our case)
  • Camera (2 x mvBlueFOX-MLC200wC)
