Battery capacity measurement can be useful in many situations. And it is not hard, only requires enough time to discharge battery completely with know resistance and a way to measure voltage in the circuit. Ohm's law will to the rest:I = U / R Let's say, we want to measure standard ...

Single-cell LiPo batteries normally provide voltage in the range 3.0–4.2 V, and our power supply circuit limits that to roughly 3.3 V max. Without a voltage divider we can’t measure battery voltage above 3.3 V, but when the battery voltage drops below 3.3V, the 3.3 V line also drops ...
Why measure VCC? Measuring VCC might be necessary if your Arduino project runs on battery, primarily, or as a backup power source. The advantage of measuring VCC internally is that doing so will not require using a pin on the Micro. The micro has a dedicated channel for making this measure...
you very much. RELATED INFO:✨ Led display max7219 dot matrix module microcontroller 8x64: the dot matrix module has a built-in led display. it can be used to measure the voltage of the battery, and control the power of the battery. ...
The 100 kΩ resistor was installed between the 12 V battery terminal and the analog 0 pin (A0) of the MEGA microcontroller. The A0 pin was configured as an input pin and used to measure battery voltage. The 6.8 kΩ resistor was installed between the A0 pin of the MEGA ...
// Checks voltage, in case of low battery lowvolt variable changes void voltmeasure() { /* Note: The 7.6 V battery is conneced via a 2.2k resistance from BAT to voltagepin and 1.0k to GND This gives the 5 Vanaloginput a 16 volt measure range*/ ...
1. Supply an external - accurate - voltage to Aref.2. Use the internal bandgap 1V1 voltage reference. The internal bandgap is not without a problem - its initial accuracy is ±9%! Find out here how to calibrate it, and use it to measure your power supply voltage....
The principle is simple: we are going to measure our battery capacity by measuring the voltage across the battery terminals. The big assumption here is that battery capacity is linearly correlated to its voltage: the assumption itself is wrong, but in most cases it's close enough to reality,...
