Description

MAVExplorer/MAVProxy seems to not be recognizing voltage data for newer (3.6?) ArduCopter versions. Apparently this was changed from CURR.Volt to BAT.Volt. So now on newer dataflash logs this battery related data doesn't appear to be recognized by MAVExplorer at all.

Research direction

Start by locating the MAVExplorer voltage-data handling within MAVExplorer/MAVProxy and compare how CURR.Volt and BAT.Volt fields are recognized. Verify the change against newer ArduCopter dataflash logs; done means battery voltage appears in MAVExplorer for logs using BAT.Volt without breaking older logs.
