The BatteryProtection
library helps to monitor the voltage of a battery using an analog pin and halts the program if the voltage drops below a safe threshold of 2.05V. This prevents battery damage by ensuring the battery is not drained excessively.
- Periodic voltage checks using
millis()
, without blocking other code. - Halts program execution automatically when voltage drops below 2.05V.
- Simple to integrate with any project that uses battery-powered systems.
- Download the library.
- Place the
BatteryProtection
folder in yourArduino/libraries/
directory. - Restart the Arduino IDE if it's open.
#include <BatteryProtection.h>
BatteryProtection battery(A0); // Initialize with analog pin A0
void setup() {
// No setup required
}
void loop() {
// Periodically checks the voltage
battery.checkVoltage(); // Program halts if voltage drops below 2.05V
}
