Hello,

I have connected my main battery to the MinimOSD board
For easy'r soldering I connected it to the terminal of the video voltage, this works perfectly.

But now I think it should be easy to make a software change and let the MinimOSD think that my applied voltage is the main voltage.
But I am unsure were to change this in the code.

Could someone please show me were to change the code for this.

Thanx in advance!

Greetz Johan Addink

B.t.w. I hope I explained myself correctly.

Hi Johan,


   please swap the input pins accordingly on GlobalVariables.h sketch:

const uint16_t voltagePin=0;
const uint16_t vidvoltagePin=2;

Have fun and fly safe.
Cheers,
-KV

Thanks for the tip KATA, this helped me as well. I've been posting around some forums for help with a related issue. I have the witespy minimOSD board and my voltage is too low, even with the divider maxed at 110.

With the divider all the way up, here is what I'm dealing with. Obviously I will need to apply the above pin-swap for readout. 

Again, this is with divider maxed at 110.
PIN BAT2: shows 7.8main 
actual: 3s video @11.6

PIN BAT1: shows 10.9video 
actual: 4s main  @16.0

I'm hoping for any tips for getting the proper voltage, without bridging any resistors or doing any micro-soldering on the chip's legs. Preferable simply in arduino. Thanks! --Josh
