Analog Power Module Setup
- Connector the Power Module to battery and connect the flight controller to your ground station via USB.
- Open QGroundControl go Vehicle Setup and Power tab and Input the Number of Cells.
- Ensure the Voltage Divider & Amps per Volt is correct.
All Holybro Analog Power Module except PM08 using the following:
- 1.Connector the Power Module to battery and connect the flight controller to your ground station via USB.
- 2.Open Mission Planner, go to Setup page and Battery Monitor tab and select the following:
- Monitor –
Analog Voltage and Current
- Sensor –
9: Holybro Power Module
(Shown asHolybro Pixhawk 4 PM
in some older Mission Planner version). - The "HW VER" depends on the flight controller you use. Refer to instruction below.
Note: By selecting Sensor to
9: Holybro Power Module
above, you essentially are setting the the following parameter:If you are using Pixhawk 5X or 6X :
- You must use a digital power module like the that end with a “D” such as the PM02D, etc.
You do not need to use "Battery Monitor" tab to setup the digital power module for the Pixhawk 5X or 6X. The parameters needed for their operation are already setup by default:
There is a bug on Mission Planner 1.3.80 where the
HW Ver -10: Pixhawk 6C/Pix32 v6
does not register in Battery Monitor Tab.
If you are using this version, you must change parameter BATT_VOLT_PIN
& BATT_CURR_PIN
manually (shown below) instead of using the HW VER dropdown menu. This issue has been fixed in the next release.Configure the battery monitor to Analog Voltage and Current by setting parameter below:
If using power1 port, go to "Config" tab and input the following in the parameter list:
- BATT_VOLT_PIN: 8
- BATT_CURR_PIN: 4
If using power2 port input the following:
- BATT2_VOLT_PIN: 5
- BATT2_CURR_PIN: 14
Click Write Params.
If using power1 port input the following:
- HW Ver – “0: CUAV V5/Pixhawk 4 or API “
Alternatively, input the following in the parameter list:
- BATT_VOLT_PIN: 0
- BATT_CURR_PIN: 1
If using power2 port input the following:
- BATT2_VOLT_PIN: 2
- BATT2_CURR_PIN: 3
Click Write Params.
If using power1 port input the following:
- HW Ver – “9: Durandal/ZealotH743”
Alternatively, input the following in the parameter list
- BATT_VOLT_PIN: 16
- BATT_CURR_PIN: 17
If using power2 port input the following:
- BATT2_VOLT_PIN: 14
- BATT2_CURR_PIN: 15
Click Write Params.
