Kerosin – RC Jet Refueling System

✨ Projektübersicht

Kerosin – RC Jet Refueling System ist ein modulares Open-Source-System zur Betankung von Flugmodellen mit Kerosin. Es basiert auf einer Mikrocontroller-Lösung zur Überwachung und Steuerung des Tankvorgangs.

Die Steuerungseinheit ("Controller") befindet sich am Tank. Eine zweite Einheit ("Remote") mit Touchdisplay zeigt Messdaten an und löst Aktionen aus. Die Kommunikation erfolgt über RS-422.

Ziel ist eine robuste und automatisierte komfortabler Bedienung und sicherer Betankung.

🚀 Features

Controller (Arduino Nano) direkt am Tank
Remote (ESP32) mit Touchdisplay (JC8048W550)
RS-422 Kommunikation (seriell)
Automatischer Entleerungsvorgang bei Beuteltanks bei Erreichen des Abschaltdrucks
Durchflusssensor (YF-S401) zur Kerosinerkennung beim Rückpumpen
Drucksensor (30 psi, 1/8" NPT) zur Abschaltung
Konfigurierbare Modelle mit individuell speicherbaren Parametern (Tanktyp, Volumen, Abschaltdruck, usw.)
Zahnradpumpe für zuverlässige Befüllung und Rückförderung
3D-druckbare Komponenten & KiCad-Platinenlayout

Questions

How big is the Pump controller PCB?

It measures 160 × 58 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pump controller use?

61 parts, built around the TBA 2-0511, ADUM1201AR, LTV-816 and IRLML6344TRPBF. 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 Pump controller KiCad files?

From the V0giK/kerosin repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/pump_controller/pump_controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/pump_controller/arduino.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pump controller design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
