latest firmware and Gluonconfig_v0.4

[lukasz]

Tom, I just noticed that you have added Voltage readings to gluonconfig (revison 81).
Can you share some more light on this?
is this done through the OSD?

[Tom]

Yes, + and - of your battery to the BATT connector on the board. The voltage will show in both the OSD and the Gluonconfig Dashboard.

[Tom]

Oh yes, before you start to hack your battery's connector: I simple use the connector of the balancing plug for this: very easy

With the extension board, a switched voltage convertor will use battery current to convert it to 5V to feed it to the gluon board. It can also be used to power the XBee/Camera/Video transmitter/...

Sounds nice.

How much batteries can I monitor/connect?

Is there an option to monitor receiver or xbee RSSI Level through this extension board?

[Tom]

For now you can only monitor 1 battery. In the future probably 2.

You can monitor you receiver's signal strength if you use PPM.
I'm planning to do it too for XBee, but I don't know yet how I could do it

[lukasz]

I know that xbee provides RSSI at pin6.

If that is an analog output I might add it to the extension board... (if there is any room left)
