Float and better 3rd party library compatibility (#2534) 
* define as float (not double)

* Avoid #define of 1 or 2 char symbols

Having this file define 'A' and 'C' pollutes
the global namespace, and causes conflicts
with other libraries that also pollute the
global namespace with short #defines.
It's easier to fix this header.

* unused variable warning

🔋 Battery status/level Usermod 🔋

This Usermod allows you to monitor the battery level of your battery powered project.

You can see the battery level and voltage in the info modal.

For this to work the positive side of the (18650) battery must be connected to pin A0 of the d1mini/esp8266 with a 100k ohm resistor (see Useful Links).

If you have a esp32 board it is best to connect the positive side of the battery to ADC1 (GPIO32 - GPIO39)

Installation

define USERMOD_BATTERY_STATUS_BASIC in my_config.h

Basic wiring diagram

Define Your Options

  • USERMOD_BATTERY_STATUS_BASIC - define this (in my_config.h) to have this user mod included wled00\usermods_list.cpp
  • USERMOD_BATTERY_MEASUREMENT_PIN - defaults to A0 on esp8266 and GPIO32 on esp32
  • USERMOD_BATTERY_MEASUREMENT_INTERVAL - the frequency to check the battery, defaults to 30 seconds
  • USERMOD_BATTERY_MIN_VOLTAGE - minimum voltage of the Battery used, default is 2.6 (18650 battery standard)
  • USERMOD_BATTERY_MAX_VOLTAGE - maximum voltage of the Battery used, default is 4.2 (18650 battery standard)

All parameters can be configured at runtime using Usermods settings page.

Important ⚠️

  • Make sure you know your battery specification ! not every battery is the same !
  • Example:
Your battery specification table Options you can define
Capacity 3500mAh 12,5 Wh
Minimum capacity 3350mAh 11,9 Wh
Rated voltage 3.6V - 3.7V
Charging end voltage 4,2V ± 0,05 USERMOD_BATTERY_MAX_VOLTAGE
Discharge voltage 2,5V USERMOD_BATTERY_MIN_VOLTAGE
Max. discharge current (constant) 10A (10000mA)
max. charging current 1.7A (1700mA)
