HandsFree Power Manager User Manual
Introduction
HandsFree Power Manager is a power distribution board designed by HandsFree Team according to the hardware standard of the HandsFree open source project, with multiple switches and multiple power conversion functions to meet the diverse power needs of robots. It supports the power supply of commonly used TX1/2, TK1, MiniPC, Raspberry Pi, Kinect1/2, HOKUYOU lidar, industrial control machine, laptop, etc. It also supports the power supply of the motor drive, gimbal, robot arm, lift and other structures of the HandsFree robot, and comes with an emergency stop power output. It also comes with an emergency stop power output. Together with the high-capacity battery, it can provide an integrated power supply solution for the machine.
Integrated power supply solution
HandsFree uses an integrated power supply solution for medium-sized and larger mobile platforms in order to simplify robot development and allow developers to customize their requirements in a variety of ways. There are a large number of power interfaces on the power board that provide a variety of different voltages to power various forms of devices. At the same time, we have unified the standard of different interfaces and voltages to ensure the safety of the devices.
