Reading Battery Voltage on AO

Ooops. I wondered why the first serial print was zero … :woozy_face:

To be honest I was too. But its not what this says … :thinking:

According to this:


you should be aiming for a current drain of between 1ma and 5ma (0.001 to 0.005 amps).

Plugging those values into your calculator gives this:

hey guy’s, just an FYI but your voltage divider formula is backwards.
the correct formula is Vr2=Vs*(R2/(R1+R2)), as per Ohms Law
