Function Documentation

uint16_t hl_adc_correct ( uint16_t  r  )  [inline]

correct the value read from ADC

hl_adc_correct() adjusts the value read from ADC according to the calibration value stored in adc_calibration.

The correction is performed by adding the fraction specified by adc_calibration to the value read from ADC.

The range (factor 0.5 .. 1.5) should be sufficient.

  return r + ((int32_t)r * adc_calibration >> 8);
}

uint8_t hl_bat_GetBatStatus ( void   )

Initialize

  • Variables
  • Bat Voltage measurement

This function needs to be called early in main(), before the 1s timer is running to ensure that there is an initial value for the battery voltage available

The init function will take some time to do the first measurement.
