+### 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
+                        |
+                        |
+                       A0 (ESP-8266)
+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.
