battery_monitor
AggieAir Battery and power monitor using a custom breakout board, for both fixedwings and rotocrafts. Both versions use TMP35 temperature sensor for monitoring board and cell temperatures, AD7998 (12bit) ADC for version 4 and AD7997 (10bit) ADC for version 5, and ACS758 bidirectional current sensor. There are two versions: - Rev 4: ADC VIN7 unused - Rev 5: on ADC VIN7 is now ARMED_IN (channel that sensing that the safety plug is plugged in. Define if you are using BATTERY_MONITOR_REV4 in your airfame config file (otherwise rev5 is assumed). Also the versions differ in the gain coefficients.
