NewBeeDrone & Joshua Bardwell Smart Power Goggle Cable
Discover the advanced functionality of the NewBeeDrone & Joshua Bardwell Smart Power Goggle Cable, a groundbreaking collaboration that offers a highly innovative solution for powering FPV goggles. Conceived by Joshua Bardwell in mid-2021, this smart goggle power cable adapter is designed to effectively utilize leftover 4S/6S batteries from quadcopters, ensuring that even batteries with as low as 30% charge can still be efficiently used to power goggles.
Innovative Design and Functionality: Initially, the concept was simple: create a power module board that could connect 2S to 6S batteries via a 5.5×2.1 DC male plug. However, to enhance reliability and functionality, the design evolved to include an LED power indicator light and a buzzer that audibly indicates the number of battery cells upon connection. Encased in a durable aluminum housing, the device not only protects the internal components but also aids in heat dissipation, thereby enhancing overall durability and performance.
Why is it Called a Smart Power Module? This device stands out as a “Smart Power Module” due to its capability to automatically detect the input voltage from the connected battery, adjusting the output voltage accordingly. This smart functionality ensures the goggles receive the correct voltage while also warning the user of low battery voltage through the goggles’ own low voltage warning system.
Specifications:
- Power Input Port: XT60
- Supports: 3S, 4S, 6S batteries
- Cable Length: 1.5 meters (4.92 ft)
- Features: LED power indicator, buzzer for cell count indication
- Voltage Output: 6.2V – 8.7V (varies based on battery cell voltage)
- Maximum Current: 2 Amp
- Connector: DC 2.1mm
The included buzzer enhances user-friendliness by beeping a number of times corresponding to the number of cells in the plugged-in battery (e.g., 6 beeps for a 6S battery), ensuring you are always aware of the power status.
Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional FPV pilot, the NewBeeDrone & Joshua Bardwell Smart Power Goggle Cable is a must-have accessory that redefines how you power your equipment, offering a reliable and efficient power source to enhance your flying experience.
