Dear Felix,

I just finished the application of the redefined ADC_CHANNEL_VSUPPLY. It works great! For everybody, who would like to apply it: dont forget to complete the airframe file with a raw makefile section. In case of a current sensor (measures voltage and current) with the following line:
<makefile>
    ap.CFLAGS += -DADC -DUSE_ADC_3 -DUSE_ADC_4
</makefile>
(if you are using different ADC channels, replace the numbers with the current ones)

Hi Balazs,

you can add<define name="VoltageOfAdc(adc)" value="(0.0246*adc)"/>
(with the ratio you need of course to your airframe file (e.g. BAT
section).
Then you also need to change the ADC channel that is used to read the
voltage, e.g.<define name="ADC_CHANNEL_VSUPPLY" value="ADC_4"/>. You
have to add that to the ap firmware section, so it will be a global
define and just one in the generated airframe file.

To not get errors because ADC_CHANNEL_VSUPPLY gets redefined, pull
again from master...

Cheers, Felix

Dear Developer,

we are using a TWOG in an EasyGlider for two years, and we are very
satisfied with it and very pleased that you make it accessible for all the
world.

We would ask you for some support now. We changed the airframe to a
Trainer 60 with a 6cell 5000mAh LiPo. Because of the higher accu voltage
(22.2V) we had to apply a switching power supply to provide power for
TWOG. We installed a Sparkfun Current Sensor to the ESC, too. We
configured successfully the ADC channels, and now we are able to display
the actual motor current and battery voltage on the GCS with a papget.
Unfortunately we didn't find the way, how to use the ADC channel of
battery voltage for generating the warnings (LOW, CRITICAL, CATASTROPHIC
BATT. LEVEL). Is there any way to do it without to change the code
directly?

Thank you in advance
