Anyone know how to dampen the airspeed indication on the mission planner?While flying the airspeed indication slews +- 10-15 mph. For example when stabilized at 25mph the airspeed indication jumps…Continue

"The deviation of 0.4V is solved with the new AMP (1.0.93) and his firmware update, but the current sensor don't work yet."

"I've had the same problem,I did the same steps like your, and I have not yet found the solution. The voltage sensor indicates relatively well, but has a deviation of approximately 0.4V."

"The MAVLink protocol does not have a field to report current, so it is not supported at this time. We have requested that current be added and it probably will at some point, but it is not a priority for the MAVLink team."
