Power Stack V2 Plan

All information in this page is preliminary and subject to change during the design process

V2 of the power stack will focus on higher levels of integration and incorporate more advanced designs. The main focus of this version will be to integrate some microprocessor (to be determined later but likely going to be ATmega168-20AU (Arduino nano RISC) or a similar IC like from the ATTiny line). This would require some kind of usb input which could allow for integration of USB PD to power the sub (thrusters not included) through an off the shelf power adapter. New versions of the USB PD spec allow for up to 240W at 48V @ 5A. More research would have to be done to determine if the components could handle up to 48V inputs and how the communication would operate. A new version of the stack, however, would allow for significant changes to the component choice and even allow for higher voltage batteries if space was created.
