Tutorial: How to use 4S Battery Monitor Board

The 4S battery monitor board is a useful device for monitoring the charge level of 4S (14.8V) lithium batteries used in various electronic devices. Ideal for beginners and makers who want to monitor battery life without complications.

What you need

• 4S Lithium Battery
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• Connection cable
• Power Supply

Steps

1. Connect the battery monitor board to the power and data pins of the microcontroller.
2. Ensure that the power supply voltage is between 12V and 16.8V.
3. Configure the microcontroller to read the voltage signals from the board.
4. Display the voltage and charge level data on the screen or via serial monitor.
5. Verify the proper functioning of the board during battery charging and operation.
6. Adjust any configuration parameters according to the datasheet specifications.
7. Implement an alarm system to notify when the battery is nearing depletion.
8. Document the voltage and charge data for subsequent analysis.

Example code

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int batLevel = analogRead(A0);
  float voltage = batLevel * (5.0 / 1023.0) * (verifica sul datasheet);
  Serial.println(voltage);
}
