Low battery warning #128

Open pepijndevos opened 2 years ago

pepijndevos commented 2 years ago

The badge runs on a LiPo cell that supposedly has an under-voltage protection, which most likely kicks in at a lower voltage than what is healthy for the battery. It is generally not recommended to discharge a LiPo below 3V.

It would be great if the launcher could give a warning when the battery is low.

But ahem some users might be running apps for a long time that draw power. An additional feature would be that the RP2040 resets the badge so that the launcher could display the warning.

Another thing could be to put a snippet in the docs, like the one to read the home button and reset, to check the battery voltage.

Turns out the badge just stops working at 3.3V so this is pretty low priority.
