Dashboard: how to calculate battery voltages?

JBotAlan · #1 29-05-2008, 22:47

Hello,

I have been hacking on a small VB app to connect to the dashboard port during matches to record every packet into a CSV file for analysis in Excel. It's a handy little tool, but I'm looking to extend its functionality.

For now, I can't figure out how to calculate, given the 1 byte battery voltage, the actual number of volts. Is there some magic formula I must run the byte through to get the proper voltage?

Thanks.

BTW, I may release this app once it's a bit better. Right now it's just a mash of code I wrote last-minute...I really needed it to figure out why our auto-correction in auton wasn't working.
