Posting this here (again) because it didnt let me move forums.

This is turning out to be more of a QGC problem than a px4 problem.

Hey! I’m trying to get a vehicle together. One of the last things on my checklist is to get the power working.

I’ve flown this flight controller and power module on ardupilot before and have seen power come out just fine. I’ve gone through the power tab on QGC and have played with the voltage divider parameter - no dice.

I have the battery module connected to these pins on the mRo Control zero as well.

But when I go and look at the logs, there’s proper voltage data.

Any ideas?

Have you solved this problem in the meantime? I have the same problem with a pixracer pro by mRobotics.

Was this issue with the PM02D?

I’m using Pixhawk 6X with the PM02D power module. The battery stats is not showing in QGC. Have you figured out a solution?

@KarthiAru  
This is an old post from 3 years ago. …a lot has changed since then.

What version QGC are you using? What version of PX or Ardupilot are you using?  
I am using Ardupilot on my 6X and its working fine with the PM02D.

I resolved it by setting the SENS\_EN\_INA228 param.

> 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](https://docs.px4.io/v1.14/en/advanced_config/parameter_reference.html#SENS_EN_INA226), [SENS\_EN\_INA228](https://docs.px4.io/v1.14/en/advanced_config/parameter_reference.html#SENS_EN_INA228), [SENS\_EN\_INA238](https://docs.px4.io/v1.14/en/advanced_config/parameter_reference.html#SENS_EN_INA238) depending on which one you have.
