Battery voltage

Battery Voltage - Argon

The Argon device does not have a fuel gauge chip, however you can determine the voltage of the LiPo battery, if present.

float voltage = analogRead(BATT) * 0.0011224;

The constant 0.0011224 is based on the voltage divider circuit (R1 = 806K, R2 = 2M) that lowers the 3.6V LiPo battery output to a value that can be read by the ADC.

The charge indicator on the Argon can be read using:

bool charging = !digitalRead(CHG);

In other words, the CHG input is 0 when charging and 1 when not charging, and the ! inverts this logic to make it easier to use.

On the Argon, the PWR input is 1 when there is 5V power on the Micro USB connector or VUSB pin. You can use digitalRead(PWR) to find the value. On cellular devices with a PMIC, you should use System.powerSource() instead.
