[ARTS] power supply

[Erik Hall]

Bruce,

If I don't use a standard 9v battery, then I usually use those 9.6v RC Car
battery packs from Radio Shack. Lots of current, and rechargeable. I also
use the same ones for the telem system.

Voltage-wise, the ARTS2 can run on anything from about 6.2v up to 14v. It
draws about 80mA during flight, when running the Flash memory, sensors, etc.
This, of course, does NOT include the current to the igniters. You need a
battery which can supply a large amount of current for them.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Erik
