idle amp draw

[th3tick]

I have my Logo 500 fitted with an eLogger, and after landing, it's supposed to show me max values on the PowerPanel for a few things. The problem is it only does that if the amp draw is <1A. I've noticed that a lot of times the amp draw sitting idle after landing is in the 1.1A range.

Does this seem unusual to anyone else?

I've submitted an RFE for the eLogger to have this 1A value be something one can choose, but meanwhile...

When you fire up the software you can adjust all the amperage points to where it data logs, same with chosing to start data half min or full min after hookup etc...

Look in the settings screen I think, I know you can chage a ton of logging paramters all within the software, then you have to flash the logger and the panel etc with this updated selections.

Yes, you can tune the start and stop points with a selectable amperage. What you can't tune is when it shows max/min values on the PowerPanel. It's under 1A or nothing. There's no selection for that one single attribute. It frustrates me ;)

My concern is that I'm drawing >1A while sitting there doing basically nothing. No binding servos, no motor activity, etc.

Hmm ok, I don't have the power panel,,, I thought could be adjusted, guess not. I would write or call Eagletree about this one man....

You probably already calibrated the amp sensor but if not you can do this and it may help.
