Pixhawk powermodule on navigator flight controller

Hello,

I have several power modules from the Pixhawk 2.4.8. Can I also use this power module for the Navigator flight controller?

If so, to which values should the following parameters be set?
BATT_MONITOR
BATT_VOLT_PIN
BATT_VOLT_MULT
BATT_CURR_PIN
BATT_AMP_PERVLT
BATT_AMP_OFFSET

Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi @Marcel1 -
Yes, assuming those output 3.3V max logic level signals, you can use with the Navigator. However, they look to use a different connector than the JST-GH power connector on the navigator, so you’re going to need a different cable to adapt?
Without knowing the origin of those, it’s tough to say what the specifications are. Even without knowing - you can set those parameters automatically with the powerswitch calibration extension available in BlueOS’s extensions manager!

It lets you input what power and voltage is being consumed, and it determines the correct offset parameters. To set the correct pin parameters, simply load the default parameters under Vehicle Setup (do this first!)
