Battery low voltage configuration on Ardurover within mission planner

Posted by Hugues on June 30, 2013 at 3:32am

Heelo again,

Trying to configure my new built up ardurover and being noob on that topic, I cannot find the parameter in advanced param lilst to configure the low battery failsafe.

Also I'm using a 2S battery and the mission planner thinks the failsafe voltage is 13V and therefore does not stop to voice out battery warnings !

I'm using the 3DR power module, JP1 off, and the voltage display is false. It gives me more than 10 votls when my true 2S voltage is 7,8 volts. There was a way to configure this in arducopter in mission planner but I do not find it in mission planner for ardurover.

 

Please HELP

    The information is here

    http://rover.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-measuring-battery-voltage-an...

    It is listed in the Table of Contents but not in the Drop Down Menu

    @Hugues,

    I have asked Josh Ott, the Editorial Director, if setup instructions for the battery low voltage configuration can be added to the ArduRover Wiki.

    However, after reviewing the ArduPlane/ArduCopter common Wiki instructions for enabling voltage and current sensing using the PM (http://rover.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-measuring-battery-voltage-an...), you should be able to use those instructions to setup the ArduRover voltage and current sensing. There is a box to check, during the setup/calibration of the voltage/current sensing, to alert the user to a low voltage condition when using the MP.

    Nobody can confirm if 2S batteries are supported by APM and 3DR ?
