function of power module like 3DR one

  • allows monitoring of the battery’s voltage and current and triggering a return-to-launch when the voltage becomes low or the total power consumed during the flight approaches the battery’s capacity
  • allows the APM:Copter firmware to more accurately compensate for the interference on the compass from the PDB, ESCs and motors

I need more simple words can describe these two functions.

thanks!

    1. The power module monitors battery levels and when it sees it's getting low, it can trigger a condition where the machine return to where it has taken off from

    2. It allows your flight controller to "learn" what the magnetic interference from the Power distribution board (PDB), Electronic speeds controllers (ESC) and motors are, and compensate for that in order for the compass of the flight controller to function more reliably.
