Matek CAN-L4-BM digital power sensor allows for effective monitoring of FPV drone power consumption by measuring parameters such as voltage, current, and power in real time. It is based on a high-precision 85-volt 16-bitTI INA239 controller with an SPI interface and an STM32L431 processor, which guarantee excellent performance and quality. A typical path resistance of 200 μΩ minimizes energy loss and, combined with the device’s low power consumption of 10 mA, ensures maximum energy efficiency during operation. It supports voltage measurement in the 0–85 V range with an accuracy of ±0.1%, as well as continuous current measurement up to 150 A and peak current measurement up to 204.8 A with an accuracy of ±2%. The built-in CAN interface with the DroneCAN protocol allows for easy data transmission to the flight controller without the need for additional calibration, ensuring fast and accurate data transfer and simple integration. This device is ideal for use during long flights and in scenarios where high optimization and careful control of drone power are essential.
