Power Electronics
Super Capacitor Bank ‼️ ▶️ ⚠️
Made by @bmirvish @blaticslm
Due to the competition rule, the robot chassis, which consists of four DJI 3508 geared brushless motor, can not draw more than 240W of power at any given time. To overcome this limitation, we designed our custom made supercapacitor bank as a buffer that provides instantaneous power to our robot on demand. This Capacitor Bank only consist of voltage banlancing circuit, ADC, and the Super Capacitor Unit. Since this is a passive electrical unit, there is no firmware.

Super Capacitor Charger (STM32) ‼️ 🔜 ⚠️ 🔂
Made by @cmz97
Since Capacitor is a short circuit when not charged, we need to design a consitance current charger to avoid damage of the battery and capacitor. Chengming Selected to use a H bridge Configuration to create a custon buck convertor using STM32F334. Currently, the Super Capacitor Charger can takes any voltage between 5v - 50v and convert it to 1v - 40v. The maxium output current is 10A. The PCB has a dimension of 2.599 in x 2.487 in and four layer.

Power Distribution Boards 🉑
Power Distribution Board is used to distribute electrical current in different voltage across the robot. Currently the Robot takes the following voltage level.
24 Volt for Robot controller, Any motor
12 Volt for Jetson TX 2, Transparent OLED
5 Volt for Gimbal Electrical Controller Board (ATMEGA), Electrical System Controller(ESP32)
3.3 Volt for all the embedded chip, STM32F4, ESP32, ATMEGA
1.5 Volt for Ammo remaining detection circuit
For a more accurate and compelete report on voltage and current usage of our robot, pls refer to Power Distribution Board Design Log
The newst power distribution board is divided into three seperated board:
Chassis Power Distribution Board
Made by @cmz97
This board provides all the power delivery on the robot chassis, which consist of four DJI M3508 Motor. It also has a 3.3v relay on board that selection output from either the super capacitor bank or the battery directorly. This switching action can be controlled by software via a logic high, which is passed through a opto-isolator for signal isolation. In case of emergency, such as super capacitor failure, one can flip a by-pass switch that disable all software input, and force the circuit to take battery input only.
The software switch is controlled by the Electrical System Controller (STM32/ESP32) that switch the output dynamically according to the current power usage. In seniorio such as low votage on super capacitor, Electrical System Controller can select battery input to avoid damage to the supercapacitor, and left it for charging.

Slip-Ring Power Distribution Board
Made by @cmz97
This board provides power to the Pitch Motor for the gimbal system, as well as power for Electrical System Controller. The board also provides pre-organization of the wires that go up through the slip-ring. Slipring is used in the robot due to mechanical constraints, where the robot's gimbal needs to rotate continuously. Since there are only 24 wires passess through the slipring used in our standard robot, with each of the wire capable of carring 2A of maxium continouse current, proper signal allocation need to be conducted.
We concluded the following wiring asssignment:
| Signal Name | 8A Power | 8A GND | 4A Power | 4A GND | Motor CAN H | Motor CAN L | REF_TX | REF_RX | GPIO | ESP32_TX | Referee System | Ammo Boost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| # of Wire | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| Max Current (A) | 8 | 8 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |

Gimbal Power Distribution Board
Made by @cmz97
This board provides power to the STM32 Robot controller, JetsonTX2, Yall Motor, Flywheel, ammo motor, as well as the Gimbal Electrical System Controller. On board this board, there are two MP1584EN buck convertor that converts 24v from the battery to 12v for Tx2 and 5v for the Gimbal Electrical System Controller.

Questions
How big is the Rm supercap PCB?
It measures 144.8 × 43.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rm supercap use?
33 parts, built around the ALD810027SCL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Rm supercap KiCad files?
From the PurdueRM/Electrical-System repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OldVersion/Archive/AnalogSuperCapacitor (Archived)/supercap_kicad/rm_supercap.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rm supercap design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask PurdueRM before reusing the design.
