### To monitor the battery voltage and determine when it is running low, you can use the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of the ESP-8266 Controller.
|
||||
###
|
||||
|
||||
* Components Needed:
|
||||
|
||||
Voltage Divider Circuit:
|
||||
Two resistors to create a voltage divider that scales down the battery voltage to a level that the ADC can read.
|
||||
|
||||
ESP-8266 Controller:
|
||||
Use the ADC pin (A0) to read the scaled-down voltage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Steps to Set Up the Voltage Monitoring:
|
||||
|
||||
* Design the Voltage Divider:
|
||||
|
||||
The ADC on the ESP-8266 can read voltages from 0V to 1V. You need to scale down the battery voltage (up to 8.4V) to this range.
|
||||
|
||||
Use two resistors, R1 and R2, to create a voltage divider. The output voltage ( V_{out} ) is given by: [ V_{out} = V_{in} \times \frac{R2}{R1 + R2} ]
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if ( V_{in} ) is 8.4V, and you want ( V_{out} ) to be 1V: [ \frac{R2}{R1 + R2} = \frac{1}{8.4} ] Choose R1 = 7.4kΩ and R2 = 1kΩ (or any other ratio that satisfies the equation).
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect the Voltage Divider:
|
||||
|
||||
Connect the positive terminal of the battery pack to one end of R1.
|
||||
Connect the other end of R1 to one end of R2 and to the ADC pin (A0) of the ESP-8266.
|
||||
Connect the other end of R2 to the ground (GND).
|
||||
Example Connection Diagram:
|
||||
[ Battery + ] ----> [ R1 ] ----> [ R2 ] ----> GND

|
||||
Code to Read the Battery Voltage:
|
||||
```
|
||||
const int analogPin = A0; // ADC pin
|
||||
const float R1 = 7400.0; // Resistor R1 value in ohms
|
||||
const float R2 = 1000.0; // Resistor R2 value in ohms
|
||||
const float maxADCValue = 1023.0; // Maximum ADC value (10-bit ADC)
|
||||
const float referenceVoltage = 1.0; // Reference voltage for ADC (1V)
|
||||
|
||||
void setup() {
|
||||
Serial.begin(115200);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
void loop() {
|
||||
int adcValue = analogRead(analogPin);
|
||||
float voltage = (adcValue / maxADCValue) * referenceVoltage;
|
||||
float batteryVoltage = voltage * (R1 + R2) / R2;
|
||||
|
||||
Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
|
||||
Serial.println(batteryVoltage);
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if battery voltage is below a threshold
|
||||
if (batteryVoltage < 6.0) { // Example threshold
|
||||
Serial.println("Battery is running low!");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
delay(1000); // Read every second
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Explanation:
|
||||
|
||||
* Analog Read:
|
||||
The analogRead(analogPin) function reads the voltage at the ADC pin and returns a value between 0 and 1023.
|
||||
|
||||
Voltage Calculation:
|
||||
The actual voltage at the ADC pin is calculated by scaling the ADC value to the reference voltage (1V).
|
||||
|
||||
Battery Voltage Calculation:
|
||||
The battery voltage is then calculated using the voltage divider ratio.
|
||||
|
||||
Threshold Check:
|
||||
The code checks if the battery voltage is below a certain threshold (e.g., 6.0V) and prints a warning message if it is.
|
||||
|
||||
By using this setup, you can continuously monitor the battery voltage and take appropriate actions (e.g., sending alerts, shutting down the system) when the battery is running low.
