Part.15 BMSOne – the universal BMS
When my batteries where getting out of juice, I moved to mRo power module mode, as that was the only option available that time.
You can read about it on my 12 post - Part.12 Power module mode + 2x Li-ion 9000mAh battery build
It was not bad at all, only thing, it was not providing each cell voltage, but overall battery voltage and needed careful soldering.
When BMSOne came available, I ordered one to integrate it in my 3DR. Meanwhile managed to shorten and fry something on my mRo power module drone, so I would need to re-solder everything on new board and it was not so easy. So I started with new board, and new BMS - BMSOne.
1st, the BMSOne can be bought on Madhacker.org (the same guy who built 3DR Solo Battery diagnostic tool)
2nd, the latest HOWTO for 3DR is available >HERE< (I see a warning there now, so placed on my G-Drive)
There are several options available (applying 3DR Solo battery connector and placing in battery bay, direct solder), I soldered directly to 3DR solo mainboard and placed it directly under GPS mast (these images are with the old mast)
