Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Incorrect Battery Reading - TWOG

[Mohit Mundhra]

When I connected a 3S battery measuring 12.5 V, TWOG was showing 8.9
V; while when a 7.9 V battery was connected it showed 5.7 V. I just
now realized that it could be a problem of some resistor since the
ratio coming out is same in both case (12.5/8.9 = 7.9/5.7 = 1.4
approx). Are there any other reasons that may be there for this
incorrect reading?
