When you install the apm powermodule with the pixhawk and I select the following settings in mission planner, initial setup / Optional Hardware / Battery monitor
Monitor - 4: voltage and current
Sensor - 4: 3DR Power module
APM Ver - 4: Pixhawk
Then after disconnecting and connecting mission planner the settings have changed to
Monitor - 4: voltage and current
Sensor - 0: Other
APM Ver - … [Empty]
What are the correct settings to use and why are the selected settings not stored?

Same behaviour on my pixhawk. Although it seems to indicate the right voltage on the HUD screen, mission planner does not keep the chosen settings.
Probably still an enfancy bug that needs to be polished out.
(the above mentioned youtube link does not give any answer to our problem unfortunately)
ignore it, all the groundstation does is to set the BATT_VOLT_PIN, BATT_VOLT_MULT, BATT_AMP_PERVOLT and BATT_AMP_OFFSET , once it’s done, all is fine, and there’s no reason for the APM to store your choices, or for the grounds software to guess what you selected.
Most of those values is manually fine-tuned for calibration by advanced users anyway.
So the problem is within missionplanner?
Who will address this to the developers of missionplanner to show the correctly selected hardware?

Like I wrote, it is not a problem - just cosmetic thing.
