Hi Nicola,

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

Do you mean that you use Msp430InternalVoltageC in order to get the level
battery?But what is the function which relates battery level to voltage
level from InternalVoltageC? For example, do you know what voltage from
InternalVoltageC is equivalent to 10 % of full battery? I read about use
InternalVoltage and people said that is not very reliable, because of level
battery usually falls down much more faster as Internal Voltage does, so
from your experience, do you usually use it in order to get a threshold for
mínimum battery level, don’t you?What is the voltage do you use as mínimum
battery level?

 

Thank you in advance

 

David

You can see the component Msp430InternalVoltageC(). I use this for read the
Voltage/Battery Level and I think that is the correct value becouse i see
that, when I use the battery the voltage is 2.5V but if I use the cable-USB
the voltage is 2.97V

Hi,

 

I have read some information in TinyOS-help about how getting battery level
from VoltageC components in Telosb, but I think there is not direct relation
between the Voltage Level in TElosb and Battery level, I am sure that
someone else has had the same need of getting the battery level in order to
send an alarm message so batteries in Telosb can be swicthed each time that
they are almost finish. How could I solve this problem?If there is no way to
get the battery level from Telosb, how can I work around about this?Does it
exist any sensor which can be integrated in Telosb to get the battery level
as the same way as a mobile phone does it?Does it exist any electronic
circuit to get the battery level?

 

I am working with TinyOS 1.x and Telosb motes

 

Thank you in advance
