as the title says im after some information for monitoring both cells in my 2s lipo.
occasionally after i have been running my rc crawler i check my individual cell voltages with my dmm to see how the cells have discharged after running and a few times i have found that one cell has significantly disharged way more than the other so i want to avoid this.
the esc lipo cut off of 3v per cell is too low for my liking so i would like to make my own with user set voltage warnings and to be able to monitor the individual cells and give an audible warning if they end up differing too much.
the only things im really unsure of and need advice/help is about connecting the two individual cells to check them.
i know each cell is up to 4.2v when fully charged and i would like to use the balance plug but am not sure if i can use the taps for both cells to go to 2 individual ADC channels to check the cells or if this will count as over voltage to the picaxe being that the 2 cells are in series
hopefully you get my ideas of my concerns through my ramblings lol
