Measuring Battery Life

[AgentSmithers]

Hi everyone, I am using the Wemos D1 Mini Pro. I just want to reach out and make sure I'm going down the correct path by setting my 107th byte in my init.bin and also I call system_get_vdd33 to get an arbitrary value depending on my battery correct?
The batter will be connected to pin 3v3 and gnd.

Anyone?
Thank you!

Why not just try it?

The 107th (0x6B) byte has to be 0xFF.
system_get_vdd33() returns the voltage in 1/1024 Volt.

So calculate system_get_vdd33() * 1000L >> 10 to get the battery voltage in mV.

It works here... (ESP-01)

That's interesting. Do I need to put a voltage divider for this example? After reviewing the command it seems it pulls from
Pin 3/4 aka VDD3P3

This here above shows those are Pins GPIO 16 (D0) and 14(D5) . Do both these pins detect a voltage somehow or do I have to add a Voltage + to one and GND to another?

system_get_vdd33() directly measures the supply voltage. No other pins are required for this. The SDK manual also says that TOUT pin needs to be suspended. I am using the very simple ESP-01 modules. I have no idea what they did to that pin, but it works just fine.

Gotcha, So TOUT for me I think is A0 on my board. Can't tell from the Schematic directly but I think that's the pin it is talking about. I just need to leave it floating.
So Basically I need to hook up my device via battery to 3.3 and GND then make sure my default.bin offset 107 is set to FF then run the command and see what I get.
Correct?

Blubb,
How does your logic work
Do you take the value returned by vdd multiply it by 1000 then bitshift it over 10 bits?
I am unsure on how that will return the mV, Can you enlighten?
Thank you!! =)

Then just write

system_get_vdd33() * 1000L / 1024

Same result (because 1 << 10 == 2 ^ 10 == 1024)
