Can not read Vbatt with ardupilot
Hey guys!
My ardupilot voltage reading isnt working =(
In the telemetry (which is working fine) it reads "battery 3.83V" and I can not understand where is this value coming from. It reads 3.83 even if the proper battery readings pin is not connected and very small changes happens if I plug the battery to it.
Any suggestions?
Many tnks!

Hi, have you set up the battery voltage in the AP_Config.h file?
/***************************************/
//Battery:
#define BATTERY_EVENT 0 // (boolean) 0 = don't read battery, 1 = read battery voltage (only if you have it wired up!)
#define INPUT_VOLTAGE 5200.0 // (Millivolts) voltage your power regulator is feeding your ArduPilot to have an accurate pressure and battery level readings. (you need a multimeter to measure and set this of course)

Pilot 2.6 header file only has #define INTPUT_VOLTAGE and I correctly set it to 5000, probably battery event is assumed by default on 1 since it keeps on trasmitting (wrong) data. Could it be some sort of HW problem??
