# Pomegranate Systems Power Module

:::note In 2022, UAVCAN (v0) was forked and is maintained as `DroneCAN`. While this product still mentions "UAVCAN", it is fully compatible with PX4's DroneCAN support. :::

## Firmware Setup

The power module runs pomegranate systems' own custom (open source) firmware. Source code and build instructions can be found on [the bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/p-systems/firmware/src/master).

## Flight Controller Setup

1. Enable DroneCAN by setting the [UAVCAN\_ENABLE](/px4-user-guide/advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#UAVCAN_ENABLE) parameter to `2` (Sensors Automatic Config) or `3`.
2. Enable DroneCAN battery monitoring by setting [UAVCAN\_SUB\_BAT](/px4-user-guide/advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#UAVCAN_SUB_BAT) to `1` or `2` ( depending on your battery).
3. Set the following module parameters using the [MAVLink console](https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/master/en/analyze_view/mavlink_console.html):
   * Battery capacity in mAh: `battery_capacity_mAh`
   * Battery voltage when *full*: `battery_full_V`,
   * Battery voltage when *empty*: `battery_empty_V`
   * Turn on current integration: `enable_current_track`
   * (optional) Turn Off CANbus termination resistor :`enable_can_term`

**Example:** A Power Module with UAVCAN node id `125` connected to a `3S` LiPo with capacity of `5000mAh` can be configured with the following commands:

```
uavcan param set 125 battery_capacity_mAh 5000
uavcan param set 125 battery_full_V 12.5
uavcan param set 125 battery_empty_V 11.2
uavcan param set 125 enable_current_track 1
uavcan param save 125
```

See [device configuration page](https://p-systems.io/product/power_module/configuration) for a full list of parameters.
