Battery voltage threshold #133

Closed ZakaryW closed 4 months ago

ZakaryW commented 4 months ago

Currently, our software is implemented with the assumption that there will always be enough power available to meet the demands for reading data as well as sending said data over a communication medium (like LTE). Unfortunately this is an assumption we can no longer make, as our systems rely on a limited pool of battery power that's usually charged overtime via solar. This can cause various issues and may lead to the system continuously booting then loosing power before it's able to complete its expected routine. One way to fix this would entail utilizing analog within the sketch itself, and adding various checks there. However this could needlessly complicate things, so the better approach would be to just implement built in battery voltage monitoring/ checking within the library itself.

Oh wait I think there's already an issue for this
