Voltage and Current sensing

Hi Friends,

I am having APM 2.5 in my RC aircraft and i need to measure how much power is being consumed by various units in the a/c like the motor, servos, RC receiver and the APM 2.5 itself. And i use Li-Po for powering up my a/c. And i use a power module that came along the APM2.5 with deans connector.

I tried following the wiki for configuring the battery monitor in the mission planner, it says to measure the current or voltage from the two terminals in the board but my board is covered in ABS.

Please help.

  • To access the test point, you will have to remove the cover that encloses the APM 2.5.

    This is not specifically stated in the instructions HERE, but it is implied.

    I do not think this will not void your warranty.
