Thanks
Jerald,
I believe that V2 of the Shield board can handle a 4S Lipo.

Just curious. How much voltage can the battery monitor handle on the shield? Can it also handle up to 15 volts? Thanks.
Yeah you are absolutely right. Already got the board up and working again. Thanks for the help
Jerald,
I believe that Ver 2 of the Shield boards are blue. Do they appear green to you? The Ver 1 Shield boards are red like the Ardupilot Atmega 328 boards.

Sorry I saw the "new" board here and it was green so I thought you might have made hardware changes that made it superior to the red boards.
I saw that version 2 of the shields were green so I assumed it was the same for the regular boards.
Sorry…
What do you mean "old red board"? That's the current board. What board are you thinking of?
Anyone know if it makes a difference if i use the old red board here with the new green shield here? Thanks.
Thanks a lot Thomas. I forgot to check sparkfun. I am using the atmega 328 board though so it is no problem.
Jerald,
If you are referring to the Ardupilot Atmega 168 board as the "original board", then they will never be available again as they have been phased out. Presently Sparkfun has over 100 of the present Ardupilot Atmega 328 boards and they are th…
I was connecting the power for the Ardupilot on my aircraft when the power line slipped and hit the shield board and I heard a loud pop. :(
Now I'm unable to communicate with the board at all. Whenever I try to download programs to the board I get…
Good news. I double checked on the continuity of all the lines and noticed it was breaking on the power line. The Power pin on the shield was not completely soldered. I redid it and it is outputting the expected values.
Thanks for all the help!!
You've definitely got something connected wrong. Check the shield soldering?
Run this code to be sure it's not something else causing it. Such high numbers means you've got a something connected wrong. If everything were disconnected you should see about 511.

I purchased the newer xy&z sensors from the store recently and I am still getting the same behaivor. There is no pink film on the lens this time and I don't see how the new ones could have been damaged as well.
Everything else I have purchased from…
My understanding was that you can use 1280 MHZ frequency in the States if you have an amateur radio license.
Thanks for the links i might be able to use them.
