Battery level

[cepics]

Hi, does this sketch work with M5Stick too?

// https://github.com/m5stack/M5Stack/issues/74


#include <M5Stack.h>

int8_t getBatteryLevel()
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x75);
  Wire.write(0x78);
  if (Wire.endTransmission(false) == 0
   && Wire.requestFrom(0x75, 1)) {
    switch (Wire.read() & 0xF0) {
    case 0xE0: return 25;
    case 0xC0: return 50;
    case 0x80: return 75;
    case 0x00: return 100;
    default: return 0;
    }
  }
  return -1;
}

void setup() {
    M5.begin();
    Wire.begin();
  }

void loop() {
  delay(1000);
  M5.Lcd.clear();
  M5.Lcd.setTextColor(GREEN);
  M5.Lcd.setCursor(0, 20);
  M5.Lcd.setTextSize(2);
  M5.Lcd.print("Battery Level: ");
  M5.Lcd.print(getBatteryLevel());
  M5.Lcd.print("%");
}

tnks a lot?

I didn’t test it, but probably not likely to work. The M5Stack and m5stickC use different power management chips (IP5306_i2c vs. AXP192). This sketch might help you get some power info from the m5stickC though.

You can try this code for testing battery voltage level.

#include <M5Stack.h>
#include <U8x8lib.h>

int8_t getBatteryLevel()
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x75);
  Wire.write(0x78);
  if (Wire.endTransmission(false) == 0
   && Wire.requestFrom(0x75, 1)) {
    switch (Wire.read() & 0xF0) {
    case 0xE0: return 25;
    case 0xC0: return 50;
    case 0x80: return 75;
    case 0x00: return 100;
    default: return 0;
    }
  }
  return -1;
}

void setup() {
    M5.begin();
    Wire.begin();
  }

void loop() {
  delay(200);
  Serial.print("Battery Level: ");
  Serial.print(getBatteryLevel());
  Serial.println("%");
}

@m5-docs coool it works!!

but, when I plug the usb cable the serial monitor say 100%,
though the battery level is less..

is there a software way to know if the usb cable is connected? (to make power cable symbol appear on display)

Theres a pretty nice comprehensive blog post on the battery and output of the stick c but in japanese https://lang-ship.com/blog/?p=523. He posts his arduino code though on how to read different information about the battery. I tested and it works pretty well.

#include <M5StickC.h>

  // put your setup code here, to run once:

does it should work on GRAY M5Stick too ?

I don't think so but i could be mistaken.
