Re: Battery Display on DS
It reads ~7ish volts because the input range on the cRIO AI module is -10V to 10V. So there is a voltage divider on the analog bumper input 8 to bring battery voltage down within this range. The cRIO software knows this so it reports the actual battery voltage after it does the math to undo the voltage division.
