Current+Voltage sensors

Postby Konkani_70 » Sun Jan 08, 2012 5:36 pm

Hey guys,

I searched the website but found nothing on this, is it possible to connect two batteries to Gluon in such way that both their voltages and remaining current get displayed in the GCS? How do I achieve this?

Regards,

No, for the moment there is only 1 battery voltage input. There is one analog input available for any other use, but it still needs to be developed. I'm thinking to use this as current sensor input.

Thanks Tom. I might be speaking over my head here but isn't it possible to measure current with something like the AttoPilot Voltage and Current Sensor: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10643

Well yes it would be possible, but it's not yet implemented...
I might do it in the near future :-)

Right now only voltage is measured
