Low power warning LED #7

Open rpineau opened 6 years ago

rpineau commented 6 years ago

Babak asked to add a low power LED to warn the users. The LED is wired via a 74AC04N from pin 4. If the voltage goes bellow 12v, it will blink for a 100ms every second. I also fixed the conversion of the analog value to match actual volts ( https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ReadAnalogVoltage ) and tested it. On my rig, it reports 12.12V for 12.7 V , the discrepancy is coming from the voltage divider resistor tolerance. The 74AC04N will also drive 2 LEDs for the open and close positions as requested by Babak but has no impact to the code as it's all done in hardware on the future new shield
