Ant control board v2

F.A.C. V2 - Floppy Ant Controller

F.A.C. V2 is an advanced control board specifically designed for combat robots (such as the Antweight category). Created by Floppy Lab, it serves as a high-performance, highly customizable alternative to the Malenki-nano, offering professional features at a competitive price point.

🚀 Key Features

• Full Customization: All parameters are adjustable via USB using the dedicated FAC Tool.

• Advanced Hardware: Features a built-in IMU (accelerometer and gyroscope) for future firmware updates and advanced control algorithms.

• Open Source: Built with a community-first approach, allowing for user modifications and contributions.

• Robust Safety: Includes integrated Watchdog timers, Fail-Safe mechanisms, and Battery Cut-Off to protect your hardware.

📊 Technical Specifications

• DC Motor Outputs: 3 channels (1.8A max, 1000-step resolution, adjustable frequency 100Hz-10kHz).

• Servo Outputs: 2 HV channels (powered directly by the battery) with adjustable frequency and pulse width.

• Inputs: 2 Digital inputs and 1 Analog input (max 3.3V).

• Power Supply: Optimized for 1-2S LiPo batteries (up to 11V max).

• Compact Form Factor: 21mm x 31mm; weighs only 2.4g (bare board) 3.6g (with FS2A).

• Receiver Compatibility: Supports PWM (up to 4 channels) and PPM (up to 8 channels), ELRS (not implemented yet but ready to run on current hardware).

🛠️ Configuration (FAC Tool)

The FAC Tool provides a graphical interface for granular control over your robot's behavior:

1. Mapping: Freely assign software functions (e.g., Tank Mix) to physical pins on the board.

2. Mixes & Special Functions: Easily configure steering mixes or direct links between radio channels and outputs and others like DC servo.

3. Real-time Telemetry: Monitor battery voltage, radio signal values, and operational status (Armed/Disarmed/Cut-Off).

⚠️ Safety Information

• Reverse Polarity: The board does not have reverse polarity protection. Ensure the battery is connected correctly to avoid permanent damage.

• Activation: For safety, the FAC will not activate until it detects a valid signal from your receiver.

• Battery Management: Always configure the Battery Cut-Off to prevent over-discharging your LiPo cells.

📂 Project Structure

• /FIRMWARE V2: Firmware source code and binaries.

• /docs: Full English and Italian manual.

• /HARDWARE V2: Design files.

• /TOOLS: Usefull python tools, and the FAC jingle composer.
