Power Monitoring System

[pablo-collantes]

Can we develop a power monitoring system that can log voltage, current, and power consumption across different components such as pc, radio, and drivetrain.
Should some of these systems implement short-circuit protections or under/over voltage protections.

So the overall idea right now is to use an Arduino to gather power telemetry from the different components.

• The battery itself can be measured with one of the ADC pins on the Arduino
• it uses a reference voltage on the aref pin
• in order to measure the battery we need a resistive array for a higher impendence input and to reduce the voltage so the board don't fry
  attached I've added a diagram of what I'm thinking should work
  along with some pretty basic Arduino code that'll need to be updated when we get the actual modules
