CubePilot EDU450 100A Carrier Board with PDB for Cube

The CubePilot EDU450 is an all-in-one carrier board for Cube autopilots that combines the flight-controller carrier, power supply module, power distribution board and ADS-B interface on one plate. It suits quadcopter, X8 coaxial and octocopter builds running ArduPilot or PX4, and replaces the separate PDB, power module and wiring loom of a typical Cube install.

Key features

• 100 A continuous power distribution from packs up to 8S, feeding eight ESC ports on Amass MR30 connectors.
• Redundant power for flight-critical components, with automatic fail-over to the backup supply.
• Built-in BECs: 5 V at 10 A and 7 V at 1.5 A for the autopilot and peripherals.
• Hall-effect voltage and current sensor for battery monitoring.
• Wide connectivity: CAN, RS485, high-speed SPI, a dedicated HerePro port, four ProfiLED outputs, UARTs, I2C and ADC, plus an SMA jack for an external ADS-B antenna.

Specifications

• Input: up to 8S lithium (36 V max)
• Continuous current: 100 A (derate in enclosed or hot installations)
• ESC outputs: 8 × Amass MR30
• BEC outputs: 5 V / 10 A, 7 V / 1.5 A
• Interfaces: CAN, RS485, SPI, HerePro, 4 × ProfiLED, UART, I2C, ADC, ADS-B antenna (SMA)
• Size: 170 × 145 mm
• Weight: 185 g (with carbon fibre plate)

The Cube flight controller is not included. The board also supports Here GNSS modules and the Herelink air unit, so a complete Cube, GNSS and video-link stack plugs straight in.
