[Paparazzi-devel] BAT or ENERGY message improvement possible?

[Chris]

Hi.
Is it possible if there is no higher cause to change the BAT message so 
it can include
a more precise current value?
Up to know i had to include both "BAT" and "ENERGY" messages because of 
the current field low resolution (The "BAT" message also includes the 
throttle field so it is essential)
It looks like the "ENERGY" or "BAT" message can be modified in order to 
be more complete/
Currently the value has a resolution of 1A but i changed it to:
#define PERIODIC_SEND_BAT(_chan) { \
    uint16_t amps = (int16_t) (current/100);                \ //was 
(current/1000)
    Downlink({ int16_t e = energy;                    \
    DOWNLINK_SEND_BAT(_chan,                    \
&v_ctl_throttle_slewed,            \
&vsupply,                    \
&amps,                    \
&estimator_flight_time,            \
&kill_throttle,                \
&block_time,                    \
&stage_time,                    \
&e);                        \
      });                                \
}

This way the current field has a resolution of 0.1A and still can 
display more than enough amperes.
