PM02D Power module for Pixhawk 5X

Hardware Pixhawk family
1

Hello,
I just got the Pixhawk 5X flashed with Ardurover 4.2.0dev.
I’m using QGC 4.2.0 as a ground station. Everything seem to works fine so far except battery monitoring through the PM02D power module from Holybro.
The module has digital I2C interface instead of the analogue voltages used in the pervious version of the module.
tried most of digital options already listed but none of them reported the right battery voltage/current.

I know the support of the 5X is still not official, but I would appreciate any advice or pointers on how to set it up correctly.
Thanks!
Atef

edit:

the PM02D requires that the following parameters be directly set:
BATT_MONITOR =21
BATT_I2C_BUS =1
BATT_I2C_ADDR = 65

these are already set as defaults in the parameters, unless you have changed them trying to use that Mission Planner wizard, to something else…

Thanks a lot! Now the correct battery voltage is being reported :slight_smile:

Hi, is the PM02D supported in Ardupilot/Missionplanner? I use the pixhawk 5 with these module but can’t get any numbers for the battery monitoring.

hi, in pm02d module spec. explained that the PCB Cont. Current Rating: 60A and B **Burst Current Rating: 100A (<60 Sec) =, I need 100 A current for 5 min. in take off mode, what is the solution, other people how works with this limitation?

You will probably need to upgrade to the PM08-CAN

good evening, I use the PM03D HV model on power1 and a PM02D HV on power2, I would like to be able to make them communicate together on the pixhawk but they use the same address 0x69 I would like to change the address of one or the other know you how can I do?
