Cleanflight vbat settings
#1
Hey everyone,

i need some clarification about the battery monitoring in Cleanflight. Couldn't find any exact statement on google :/

So you have 
vbat_scale = 112
vbat_max_cell_voltage = 42
vbat_min_cell_voltage = 33
vbat_warning_cell_voltage = 35

Scale is obvious.
The max voltage is clear too.

Now my problem:
It's said that both min and warning trigger the alarm. Is is triggered differently?
What is the exact differenc for calculations, etc. between min and warning?

Can i set them to the same amount, does that make any sense?

Cheers
Diego

I don't know the specific calculations but I can tell you the behavior of each.

Warning voltage will make your buzzer start chirping every second and and min voltage will set off the continuous beeeeeeeep.

Thanks !! Will there be a diffrent warning in the OSD or the same "Low Voltage" ?

to be honest i don't find any difference between vbat_min_cell_voltage and vbat_warning_cell_voltage, apart from making the alarm to go off...

Set it to whatever values you want it only affects when your alarms is triggered depends on voltage... i set mine to 2V so it never sounds Smile because it's annoying!
