ROS Battery Status
Hi,
Last December, my team and I participated in the first Maritime RobotX Challenge is an international team competition uniquely designed to evolve into a multi-platform competition to include maritime, aerial and submersible tasks to broaden students’ exposure to robotics applications and technologies. Our team utilized the ROS for some tasks, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Path Planning, and Color Recognition. I am a power system lead of the team, and I have been trying to program in ROS to check the status of our lead acid (standard car) batteries as well as some Lithium Ion battery packs. Unfortunately, none of the team members knows how to approach to this problem. Please help!

How about using the diagnostics packages? You publish a diagnostic message with the current battery value.
