Construction of a BATmonitor¶
Present mini-project will develop a Battery monitor using an Arduino Uno R3 and the uCANca tools.
To build a testable circuit, we will implement a solution like this one:

After we have played with the potentiomenter, the idea is to switch the input to monitor the battery level of a robot or toy controlled by the Arduino.
Project creation¶
We will create a project called BatMonitor in uCANca.
And add ourselves as team member (as contributor).
Add the main function of the system: Monitor the battery voltage value.
Add the secondary function of the system: Discretize battery voltage values into different battery ranges.
Add a diagnostics function on battery: Warn (and register) battery low levels.
And another diagnostic function for battery high: Warn (and register) battery high levels.
As summary:
