Voltage reading from firmware on crazyflie

Hi,
I am trying to get the voltage being applied to the motors from the firmware, when different thrust values are applied. Unfortunelty, have got no clue how to do that. Anyone knows any libraries that are used to do this or anything that could help get the voltage being supplied to the motors from python??


Regards
AG

Simplifying it, 50% PWM would yield 50% battery voltage applied. So by reading the battery voltage you would get a rough estimate of this.

To precise the Tobias answer: there is no physical way to measure the voltage applied on the motor of the Crazyflie. Though it can be estimated with the battery voltage and the PWM.
