DragonOSD+ easy modification of the SFE Atto current sensor

Thanks to Daniel's know how, here I take a $20 (USD) current sensor which is made by Dean Geodde (available at http://www.sparkfun.com) and modify it to work with Dragon OSD+. Three resistors are removed and a solder is bridged together across the right side of the resistor pads on the pcb.

Here is the video.

More detail photos. Please pay attention to the crossed wires which goes to the OSD.

Here's the newer version a similar current sensor.
the resistors are at a different position, might be of different value too i don't know (on this pic its 4.7k and 10K)
The solder jump just bypasses the resistors so the DOSD gets the battery voltage value "directly" (theres still a cap its not really direct, but it'll get the exact battery voltage, not a divided voltage)
