TBS Lucid Wing PDB
by Team Black Sheep

The TBS Lucid Wing PDB is a 14S power and servo distribution board designed to eliminate "wire spaghetti" and streamline fixed-wing aircraft builds. While quadcopter flight controller technology moves at a rapid pace, fixed-wing pilots have historically dealt with limited wiring space, lack of current sensing, and a lack of necessary voltage rails on multirotor electronics. The Lucid Wing PDB bridges this gap completely, allowing pilots to recycle any standard 20x20mm or 30.5x30.5mm quadcopter flight controller running iNav or ArduPilot and turn it into a fully capable fixed-wing setup. Although tailored to fit the internal space of specific airframes like the TBS Mojito, its universal compatibility makes it a perfect choice for any fixed-wing aircraft utilizing up to four control servos and one or two motors.

The engineering of the Lucid Wing PDB centers around robust power handling and seamless integration of analog or digital hardware. It safely manages a maximum input voltage of up to 60V (14S LiPo) and features an onboard current sensor capable of handling 90A continuous tracking and 200A bursts. For clean peripheral routing, it includes dedicated regulated outputs—delivering 12V at 4A for LEDs and flight controllers, alongside a dedicated 6V at 4A supply optimized for servos. Peripheral integration is exceptionally flexible; the board contains dedicated plug-and-play connections for an analog camera, an analog VTX, a telemetry-enabled BLHeli/AM32 ESC, a COB LED strip, and a TBS M10 GPS. Furthermore, the voltage input to the flight controller can be switched between raw VBat or regulated 12V, utilizing an integrated voltage divider to feed any ADC pin for precise battery sensing when running on the 12V rail.
