Hi everyone I'm having a problem with setting up power mangement with ArdupilotOne (ardurover):
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilotone/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fardurover
I was looking at the ardupilot mega wiki on how to configure the voltage sensor for high voltage setups:
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/VoltageGuide
and they said to change some configuration settings (voltage divider ratio etc) in the source files. I can find these settings in ardupilot mega source so that I can change it but not in the ardupilotone source (ardurover) which is what i'm using. Is battery monitoring not supported in ardupilotone or am I not looking hard enough because I looked through the source and just cant find it.
Is there anyway I can setup power management (battery monitoring) with ardupilotone?

Isn't it just soldering a new resistor in? If I understand it properly (and I probably don't :-P ) your voltage divider should always output 5V if the batteries are charged. If not, the divider outputs less than 5V and if it crosses a threshold you declare the battery dead. Why change the settings?
