Gentlemen,
I've always been a proponent of having R/C stuff manufactured locally, desi maal rocks. So here's my bit. These were the simplest to do.

Quadcopter power distribution boards. Physical size: 2.5 in(63.5 mm) x 2.5(63.5 mm).

***I am giving away 5 boards for testing, review and feedback purposes. Calling senior members for review. I will need a decent feedback in return. I can think of a lot of names on the forum who've been doing quads.***

Estimated price (TBD) would be ~INR 80-90 (including shipping). More volumes = lesser price.

Max current?
will work 30A current per motor for the hex board?
-2814 700kv Carbon Fiber 685mm Quadcopter ( tuning PIDs)
-Scratch build Hexacopter ( selling the parts) { almost sold}
-9xR - The best RADIO
-ST360quad (sold)
-kk2 (sold)

100A is safe current to pass through. 30A * 6 would exceed that, but I do not have the equipment to do the 180A, which is why I;ll need feedback for any improvements.

Nice :) You may put solder on the traces to significantly increase the current throughput. But one has to remove the protective green layer to do that.

opting for one board  :)

Fantastic effort Girish Bhai  {:)} {:)} {:)}

Thanks lasRites,
The next batch will have HASL or Sn immersion on the contacts. Gold immersion seems overkill in this case, and will lead to increasing the costs.

Sundaram sir, please pm me your address so I can send one.

Pravesh, thanks you for your suggestion. I originally designed a through hole one, with wider inner holes like you suggest, but the side tracks seemed small for soldering so I took cues from the HK boards;

You may want to offset the +ve and -ve solder points. That would make it easier to solder. The chances of solder bridges forming would be eliminated too.

Girish!!
i guess this is just the beginning, i wont be surprised to see you own arduino at some unbelievable price. On the same lines, i say why not ? with your capability, you could put it up in matter of days may be hours :hatsoff:

girishsarwal

Thank you lastRites, Satya, Gusty sir, and Aditya,

Sure Satya, expect good discounts ;)

Gusty sir, many thanks for the appreciation; Hopefully sometime in the near future.

Aditya, please pm me your address, I can ship over one on Monday. Don't worry about the price, the review would be priceless

Girish sir amazingly awesome :bow: :bow: {:)}
I hope you start developing more components and boards like the KK2.0
i hope you have a GS2.0 ;D
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

Dharmik

Well done Girish bro. Would like to see more projects from you.

RCNeil21

Sir do you use eagle for prototyping boards or some other software?
And some tricopter and hexacopter PDB's are on their way i suppose sir (:|~

VC

Well done Boss! Now count me in as your first customer. I need one for the Hexa. When can I expect it?
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Thanks Neil, Dharmik and VC
Eagle all the way. Cam job verified in lazy cam
VC sir, your packet leaves Monday

Packages shipped for VC, Sandy sir, Dharmik and Aditya via registered Post. You should get it by Friday.

My first attempt on this, but I will not make that a basis for requesting any relaxation on testing, so guys please do a candid feedback and feel free to take it through as much bashing as you can, needs to be tested to the limits. If they're able to make through I will make the rest available for purchase. If not, I will go back to the drawing board and get something better out.

Girish - will take 5 boards - pls say total cost incl courier
to assam 784176 - use dtdc or blu dart and send me your bank details ?

sundaram

Thanks Girish.

I have noted few points already for improvement. Would be premature before getting the board in hand. Will be posting a detailed review.
