Parameter Setup

Ardupilot

Connect the Power Module CAN connector to the Flight Controller's CAN1 Port
Change the following parameters:
CAN_P1_DRIVER=1
CAN_SLCAN_CPORT=1
BATT_MONITOR=8

UAVCAN_ENABLE = 2锛圖efault for most FW

UAVCAN_SUB_BAT = 2 (filter)
BAT1_SOURCE = External
Unplug Power and Restart Flight Controller
You should now see the voltage and current consumed

Calibration

According to the factory default settings, the PM current and voltage detection accuracy is about 5%, which can be improved by fine-tuning the PM parameters.
Connect the PM to the CAN1 port of the Ardupilot firmware flight controller
Go to MissionPlanner->SETUP->Optional Hardware->DroneCAN/UAVCAN page, click MAVlink-CAN1, Parameters

Adjust the parameters in the following interface
BAT_AMP_PERVLT parameter
BAT_VOLT_MULT parameter

If the Voltage/current displayed on MissionPlanner is greater than the value displayed on the regulated power supply, adjust the value down. Otherwise, adjust it up
Click Write Params
Click Commit Params
Return to the MissionPlanner DATA page to see if the voltage and current are accurate. If not, repeat above
