        If you wanted the battery data, you can get that from the mavlink messages that are coming in. Does not necessarily have to do with voxl services. You would need to interact with voxl-mavlink-server to get that information.

          You can connect to that, and then subscribe to the BATTERY_STATUS message for that

                @hedd apologies as I was OOO for a few days. Feel free to send me an email at andrew.wilkins@ascendengineer.com

                I would like to better understand what you are attempting to accomplish. It should not matter what VOXL version you are on.
