MAVExplorer not recognizing voltage data #532

Open tr0043t opened 6 years ago

tr0043t commented 6 years ago

MAVExplorer/MAVProxy seems to not be recognizing voltage data for newer (3.6?) ArduCopter versions. Apparently this was changed from CURR.Volt to BAT.Volt. So now on newer dataflash logs this battery related data doesn't appear to be recognized by MAVExplorer at all.

mavproxy itself doesn't really have much to do with dataflash logs, which is where the CURR and BAT messages exist. Is MAVProxy's GCS functionality impacted?

MAVExplorer is probably lacking canned graphs for the new fields - it's tricky because of the instance stuff going on in new messages, but BAT shouldn't be a problem. Correcting this should be a matter of adding some entries to the pre-canned graph XML file.

I've only tested from the MAVExplorer side. I did dig around a little and didn't see where to make the necessary change. Thanks!
