Hamish Willee 88d623bedb Move PX4 Guide source into /docs (#24490)
* Add vitepress tree

* Update existing workflows so they dont trigger on changes in the docs path

* Add nojekyll, package.json, LICENCE etc

* Add crowdin docs upload/download scripts

* Add docs flaw checker workflows

* Used docs prefix for docs workflows

* Crowdin obvious fixes

* ci: docs move to self hosted runner

runs on a beefy server for faster builds

* ci: don't run build action for docs or ci changes

Signed-off-by: Ramon Roche <mrpollo@gmail.com>

* ci: update runners

Signed-off-by: Ramon Roche <mrpollo@gmail.com>

* Add docs/en

* Add docs assets and scripts

* Fix up editlinks to point to PX4 sources

* Download just the translations that are supported

* Add translation sources for zh, uk, ko

Power Modules & Power Distribution Boards

Power Modules provide a regulated power supply for the flight controller (FC), along with information about battery voltage and current. Інформація про напругу/струм використовується для визначення спожитої потужності та, відповідно, для оцінки залишкової ємності батареї. This in turn allows the flight controller to provide failsafe warnings and other actions in the event of low power: Safety > Low Battery Failsafe.

Power Distribution Boards (PDB) are circuit boards that may be used to simplify splitting the output of the battery to various parts of the drone, and in particular motors. PDBs will sometimes include a power module for the FC, ESCs for motors, and a battery elimination circuit (BEC) for powering servos.

The PX4 battery/power module configuration (via the ADC interface) is covered in: Battery Estimation Tuning.

:::tip For easiest assembly use a power module or PDB recommended by your FC manufacturer, and sized for your power requirements.

The Pixhawk connector standard requires that the VCC line must provide at least 2.5A continuous current and default to 5.3V. In in practice flight controllers may have different recommendations or preferences, so if you don't (or can't) use a recommended module, check that the module matches your FC's requirements. :::

This section provides information about a number of power modules and power distribution boards (see FC manufacturer docs for more options):
