Voxl2 + M0041 RevB Battery Monitor on Arducopter
-
Hi I'm using the M0041 board to power our voxl2 running ardupilot and having difficulty configuring the battery monitor. I found this post but we do not have the BATT_I2C_BUS parameter to set.
When checking voxl-inspect-battery, we only get the headers, no data. Voxl-vision-hub is running.

@Dan-Jennings Which arducopter build are you using?
-
@Dan-Jennings Rather than use voxl-inspect-battery have you tried QGC or Mission Planner or Mav Proxy?

@Eric-Katzfey
We're on voxl-ardupilot 4.8.0-325875bbI've been connecting through mission planner, but have not been able to get any battery data. Looked through mavlink inspector and there is no battery_status topic.
