Rotoye Batmon

Rotoye Batmon is a kit for adding smart battery functionality to off-the-shelf Lithium-Ion and LiPo batteries. It can be purchased as a standalone unit or as part of a factory-assembled smart-battery.

::: info At time of writing you can only use Batmon by building a custom branch of PX4. Support in the codeline is pending PR approval. :::

Where to Buy

Rotoye Store: Batmon kits, custom smart-batteries, and accessories

Wiring/Connections

The Rotoye Batmon system uses an XT-90 battery connector with I2C pins, and an opti-isolator board to transmit data.

More details can be found here

Software Setup

Clone or download Rotoye's fork of PX4:

git clone https://github.com/rotoye/PX4-Autopilot.git
cd PX4-Autopilot

Checkout the batmon_4.03 branch

git fetch origin batmon_4.03
git checkout batmon_4.03

Build and upload the firmware for your target board

Configure Parameters

In QGroundControl:

Set the following parameters:
- BATx_SOURCE to External,
- SENS_EN_BAT to true,
- BAT_SMBUS_MODEL to 3:Rotoye
Open the MAVLink Console

Start the batt_smbus driver in the console. For example, to run two BatMons on the same bus:
