APM2.6 + current sensor on 6S flight pack

I want to put the APM power module on a rig running 6S battery packs.

I see the Max input voltage of the current sensor is 18V.

Any recommendations how I can monitor a 6S pack with the APM in Mission planner?

thanx!

    I would suggest dropping the PM and using a uBEC connected to the outputs with JP1 in place. For current and voltage sensing use the 90A AttoPilot sensor, which will measure up to 130A when used on the APM. The output voltage for sense is scaled to 3.3V at 90A so at 5V its 130A

    here's a google link to other 6S battery discussions using google

    Hope that helps :)
