I am Currently using Sky-Drones SmartAP Power Distribution Board with Pixhwak 6C.

https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-smartap-pdb.html

I have changed the parameters as mentioned on the website.

But when I connect the pixhawk with the mission planner, the voltage appears right (24 V) but the current value is only 0 or -11 A. Even when I start the motors in arm condition, the current appears the same.

Attaching the screenshot for the battery Monitor

Should i change some parameters or change the hardware version?

Has the amp offset been set (0.63) try entering the figures in the parameter list rathrr than the dialog you showed in the pic.
Have you wired so that your current flows through the current sensor? Batt on the batt terminls, load on the esc terminals? Just checking

The current offset is set to 0.63 in parameter list. And the wires are also connected properly.

The parameters mentioned on the website are entered the full parameter list.

Hey , Even I’m facing the same problem. Did you got any solution for this? @Dhruvil_Chavada @xfacta

What flight controller do you have and what are all the related battery parameters you have set?

BATT_MONITOR to 4
BATT_VOLT_MULT to 18.4615
BATT_AMP_PERVLT to 37.2300
BATT_AMP_OFFSET to 0.63

We’re probably going to need a lot more info.
What current reading do you see at rest?
Maybe supply a .bin log with LOG_DISARMED,1

Sure ill post a bin log
