    Hi, I just had a question on using an aftermarket power module being that the one that came with my flight core v2 stopped working.

    The After Market pin layout:
    -5v
    -5v
    -Vcurrent
    -Vbatt
    -GND
    -GND

    The Flight Core V2 calls for:
    -5V
    -GND
    -I2C3_SCL
    -I2C3_SDA

    Where can I put the Vcurrent and Vbatt wires to have the flight controller still read the power consumption and voltage?

      @lccarter it doesn't look like your aftermarket power module supports voltage and current monitoring in the same way as ours does. Our APM has an i2c voltage and current monitor built in.
