I have posted a new enhancement request in the arduplane repository/wiki. It is about include native support from Arduplane code for RSSI and secondary battery voltage readings:
I hope that they take account of this request. I see we are many in the community those would like to see the RSSI and the voltage of a second battery.

Hello everyone,
I have posted a new enhancement request in the arduplane repository/wiki. It is about include native support from Arduplane code for RSSI and secondary battery voltage readings:

A temp way of showing the voltage from the rssi is to connect it to the battery voltage pins of the apm.
On the Minimosd it will display on the battery voltage.
I have been doing this for about a month, and works well for me.
My rssi voltage go form 1 volt for 100% and .5 volts for loss . I just watch the voltage and when it starts to drop below .7 volts I turn back.
Hope this helps, till they release a true rssi out on the apm.

I am thinking to add this to MinimOSD also. But it is not that simple. You have to modify APMs firmware a bit also.
