Functional Block Diagram
The Functional Block Diagram in a project is a detailed illustration of the Conceptual Block Diagram. This diagram is used to display the inputs and outputs of each subsystem and component, as well as the voltage and data connections of each. Below is the Functional Block Diagram for The Sparrow:
The Li-Po battery pack is the source of power for most of the components for the drone. This specific Li-Po battery will provide approximately 22.2V to the Pixhawk, ESCs, and payload release. Concerning the motors, each will obtain power from the ESC connections The Pixhawk in return reduces this input power to ~3.3V, so that it can be utilized by the radio, thermal and wide-angle cameras, receiver, Wifi module, and payload release.
