    Rodney Johnson microhard is more advanced, it is more configurable, it is very nice data link but still i couldnt configure on pixhawk

    Why not simply use this. They work great and it's plug and play.

    Hi Javier

    I've calibrated the battery monitor as per your link and it is reading correctly, however it is the constant low battery warning that is the issue. It is sounding when it shouldn't.

    @arif

    The firmware is compiled using the PX4 Toolchain, from the source code in https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot. Please check the following guide for more information: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-px4-with-make.html

    @Phil Horner

    Maybe your battery monitor is not well calibrated. Please check http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-power-module-configuration-.... In particular, you can input the voltage you're reading (23 V).

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with the low battery warning function on my Pixhawk. On the HUD screen in Mission Planner, at the bottom where it shows the battery voltage and amps, it is always in red and issuing warnings that the battery is low ie, 21volts. Yet the Voltage is actually reading correctly at 23 volts. Can someone please point me to a link that demonstrates what I can do to fix this issue? I must have altered a parameter at some stage, because it used to work flawlessly.

Flashing in Pixhawk

Hi everyone,Recently I've got my first pixhawk CUAV v5+. I'm amazed to see one thing that through one USB port only we can flash code and read the logging data. To understand how is it working I started looking schematic but didn't understand anything. Can someone please tell how is that working?
