Description

The Holybro CAN Hub serves as a critical expansion and power distribution module for advanced drone flight control systems. Engineered to convert a single CAN port into four distinct ports, it addresses the common challenge of limited peripheral connectivity and unstable power supply on many flight controllers. By integrating a robust step-down power supply, the hub can accept a broad 2-12S LiPo input, providing a consistent and isolated 5.2V (±0.15V) at up to 1.0A for each of its four CAN output ports.

Unlike relying solely on the flight controller’s internal 5V supply, which can be susceptible to voltage drops or current limits when multiple devices are connected, the Holybro CAN Hub offers an independent and stable power source. This dedicated power ensures that critical CAN peripherals, such as GPS modules, airspeed sensors, or companion computers, receive optimal voltage and current, preventing performance degradation or unexpected disconnections. Its independent power design makes it a vital component for ensuring the reliability and expandability of complex UAV architectures, particularly those utilizing ArduPilot or PX4.
