I was given a vintage Carl Goldberg Eagle 63 kit that the original owner started but didn’t finish. I am currently constructing the right-wing half and hope to have the wing completed in a week or two. I am thinking of converting the plane to electric and would like to add a Pixhawk controller as I am interested in the flight modes as well as waypoint mission capabilities the Pixhawk offers. I would also like to try outfitting it with sensors that would enable automated landings, so I’m thinking of getting a lidar module as well as an airspeed sensor., but I don’t know how I would distribute power to everything.
I’m thinking of getting an APM power module to supply power to the Pixhawk and ESC for the motor. But I need to supply power to the receiver as well as the lidar and airspeed units. Would some sort of power distribution PCB be appropriate? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions? I’m thinking that the receiver will supply power to the servos - is that a correct assumption?
I have a lot to construct before I need to order the electronics - I just want to understand how everything should be connected up first.
