Lorawan 1.0.3 5.5 End-DeviceStatus(DevStatusReq, DevStatusAns. Battery Percentage
Hi All, I really like this library, very well documented and easy to get going. I was wondering if I could request a feature:
I would like to check battery and DL margin using DevStatusReq.
would it be difficult to expose this in this library as the Microchip can do it MAC SET BAT.
Cheers P
OK I did a quick and nasty: in TheThingsNetwork.cpp file I added:
`void TheThingsNetwork::Setbattery()//patricks very crude DEvstatusReq Batter percentage function
{
readResponse(SYS_TABLE, SYS_TABLE, SYS_GET_VDD, buffer, sizeof(buffer));//fetch volts reading from VDD (I dont know where this comes from!)
int val = atoi(buffer);//convert to int
debugPrint(SENDING);
debugPrintLn();
debugPrint(val);//print to debug
debugPrintLn();
//Lorawan DevStatus sends battery level up to the netwotk as a percentage, 1-254 = 1-100% , 0 and 255 are reserved for mains power on or no battery infor available
if (val < 3200){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "0");
}
else if (val > 3200 && val < 3300){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "64");;
}
else if (val > 3300 && val < 3400){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "128");;
}
else if (val > 3400 && val < 3500){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "250");;
}
else if (val > 3500){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "255");;
}
}`
