Malenki-HV: 2-4S Triple Brushed ESC + FS2A Receiver Combo Board

The Malenki-HV is a tiny board designed to wrap up all the core functionalities and complex wiring of a 150-gram or 1-lb combat robot into a single PCB to massively reduce space. The Malenki-HV uses components rated for higher voltage than the base Malenki-Nano Integrated. The Malenki-HV will not function on 1S. The Malenki-HV includes the following functionality onboard:

• Three configurable brushed electronic speed controllers set up as two drive motors and one weapon motor (~3.5A continuous per channel, peak ~4.2A)
  
• Integrated Flysky 2A (AFHDS2A) R/C receiver with battery voltage and signal telemetry
• Dual PWM channels for external brushless ESCs or servo signal
• Power and status indicator light
• Built-in mixing and toggled driving inversion
• Automatic low-voltage shutdown to avoid LiPo damage
• Servo-stretching mode
• Pads and through-holes allow for soldering on either side of the board
• All under 2.5 grams!

Gone are the days of complex wiring and mixing! All of the information needed to wire up the Malenki HV is included in the documentation below. The wiring is the same as the Malenki-Nano. See the pictures for example wiring (Malenki Nano shown) used in ZipZop, a 150-gram servo lifter robot using N20 brushed motors.

To reduce risk of fire, when powering your wired-up Malenki-Nano or Malenki-HV for the first time, double check your connections based on the documentation and always use a smart smoke stopper such as the VIFLY ShortSaver V2. 

Please refer to the documentation below for more information about wiring and configuring the Malenki-Nano and Malenki-HV.
