Dear Jong,

Thank you for the information.
I do believe there is a big cross talk between the accelerometer (probably for axis Z) and the battery readings. Did you ever experience this issue? How to address it? I was trying to subtract a scaled value of the axis Z to the battery readings but seems to not to work, i.e. cannot model this cross talk as linear. Any ideas on it?


Sincerely,

Jose F. Mingorance-Puga

Hi Jose,

You will first need to convert the RAW ADC values. You can use the following formula to do so

calibratedData=(uncalibratedData-offset)*(((vRefP*1000)/gain)/4095);

where offset = 0, vRefP=3, gain = 1;

VSenseBatt = calibratedData *2; % as the voltage is divided, multiply it by two

Finally in order to *estimate* the battery capacity, you can use the following table, which we've derived from the battery datasheet :-

Subject: [Shimmer-users] Monitoring battery levels

Hello,

I am trying to roughly monitor the battery levels of the shimmers,

shimmer2r.

I am reading the values of the analog channel 7 (AnEx7).

A part from the crosstalk and other interferences that might be in, what

are the common ranges of values expected after the AD converter?

I am getting something between 2400 and 2700 out of the AD.

What range should be considered as low charge, high charge?

Sincerely,

Jose F. Mingorance-Puga
