Hey guys, I'm in the middle of creating / planning my first real project. I'm looking for some advice on the circuit to power all the components.
Overview :
I am making an RC charging station to charge LiPO batteries on the go. I made a 12v - 3s6p 18650 battery pack. My charger is 12v/8a Max. I also want to include 12 volt DC input in order to power the charger at home to charge up the 18650 pack. Along with the charger I want to include a Raspberry Pi and a Arduino Nano.
I'm going to use diodes for the dual-power inputs and charging the battery. I'm planning on using a voltage regulator IC in order to Step the voltage down for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Should I put the filtering before or after the voltage regulator? I was thinking of just using a simple LC filter.
I'm in the middle of making all this into a schematic to have for reference instead of just all in my head. I Pretty much understand how it all has to be done now I just need to put it all together. I'm going to build it outside of the case first.
***the capacitor on the output of 5v voltage regulator is supposed to go from the 5v output and ground. Schematic app moves things on export ***
Thank you
