### **Montage und Inbetriebnahme:**

### **Ausführliche Informationen und Technische Daten:**&#x20;

* CAN-L4-BM is a ultra-precise digital power monitor based on TI INA239 & ArudPilot AP\_Periph firmware.
* The resistance of this conductive path is 200 μΩ typical, providing low power loss in the application.
* With this device, No calibration required, flight controller that support DroneCAN protocol can easily get accurate current & bus voltage readouts via CAN bus.

  * Update via DroneCAN GUI Tool
* Parameters
  * CAN\_P1\_DRIVER = 1 if attached to CAN bus1 port or CAN\_P2\_DRIVER = 1 if attached to CAN bus2 port
  * **BATTx\_MONITOR = 8** (DroneCAN-BatteryInfo)

#### **Packing**

* 1x CAN-L4-BM board
* 1x JST-GH-4P to JST-GH-4P 20cm silicon wire

#### **Tips**

* The big pad on the bottom side is a dead pad. No any circuit network on it.
* Solder the positive wires as close as possible to both sides of the current sensing resistor.
* 2 ears for mounting can be cut off if you don’t need it.
* If the CAN wires are too long, bridge the “120R” jumper.
