Hello all,
I am trying to power my quadcopter system using a 50 foot cable and a 12 volt battery (in a running car) rather than using the onboard battery.
The quadcopter has four dc brushless motors, two GoPro cameras, and a flight control board.
I am still in the design phase and have not yet decided on my copter or flight controller.
My concerns: Power loss over the long cable, and inductance in the cable's spooling reel.
Can use a 12 volt battery to power this system? How can I accomplish these goals?
Thanks
