I want to be able to trigger a quasi fail safe condition based on a condition outboard of the Pixhawk but still on the craft. How can I "send a signal" into the Pixhawk in order to enable RTL? My onboard Rx is an X8R. Thanks!

I guess you would like a very simple approach, the easiest would be to lower the voltage sensing pin on power module connector , and configure a low-voltage FS action.
How can I tap into the AP_BattMonitor? I have yet to tear into the code, but I see multiple implementations, could one be made to get this info off the I2C bus if the voltage monitor was on a discrete devices? Can I have one set of code watching the offboard device along with the default code that's looking at the power port on the Pixhawk? Thanks!
