Navio 2 is a Linux auto pilot board for Raspberry Pi
1 Power
To power motors or servos from Navio2 you will need some specific power circuits.
| Element | Image |
|---|---|
| ESC stands for Electronic Speed Controller. It converts the PWM signal from the flight controller or radio receiver, and drives the brushless motor by providing the appropriate level of electrical power. |
|
| BEC stands for Battery Elimination Circuit. It’s just a fancy name for voltage regulator, which converts main LiPo battery pack voltage to a lower voltage (e.g. 2S 7.4V, 3S 11.1V or 4S 14.8V to 5V). BEC is usually built into ESC, and as the name suggests, it eliminates the need for a separate battery to power the 5V electronic devices. |
