Hey there,
I’m unable to see the battery stats in QGC.
I’m using a Pixhawk 6X with the Holybro PM02D power module connected to the Power 1 port.
These are the settings and params
This the MAVlink message for battery status
In QGroundControl, can you check the start output in Analyze Tools → MAVLink shell: then type dmesg.
I’m looking for any ina_ output which is the driver starting.
In theory, it should auto-detect the module by default but it looks like that’s not working.
What’s your PX4 version?
You can also try to force the start of the driver using the params SENS_EN_INA226, SENS_EN_INA228, SENS_EN_INA238 depending on which one you have.
Thanks. It worked after setting SENS_EN_INA228. I was using SENS_EN_INA226 earlier as default.
Sharing the logs for reference.
