Gluonpilot

Hi,

I've connected up the second battery monitor which is fine however there's a value saying it's mAh to the right in the GCS. I've got one 1300 mAh battery connected on Bat1 and one 1300 mAh battery on Bat2 it's taken a few minutes but the mAh value is going up in increments of 10 and is now over 3000 mAh, could you tell me what this value represents ?

Thanks,
Tim.

Hi Tim,

Do you have a current sensor connected? If so, the scaling value is incorrect (see Sensors tab).

If not then the sensor-input is floating. You can connect it to GND to avoid this counting. In a next hardware iteration I should add a pull-down resistor to make sure it doesn't count any imaginairy values

hi, is possible to measure the capacity/current from the second battery using the current sensor? Bat 1 is 3S and bat2 4S. I think that is not possible, Grounds of course are joined but the voltage output from the sensor (4S) is needed at max value,doesnt it? any handle? i use bat 1 for gluonboard and bat2 for motor and servos so need capacity to know flight time reserve.

No sorry I didn't think of that when making the board...

No problem Tom I will test only one battery or still manage the voltage,I am very happy with the Gluonpilot, the best autopilot to Flight over the world,:-)

Haha, thanks
