Tracker works but shows "Nobattery Connected" #111

wernizh commented 1 month ago

My tracker does work but has a small issue with the displayed battery voltage It's a Lilygo T-Beam V1.1 LORA32 it does have an onboard 18650 battery.

a) when running from the onboard 18650 battery it shows: on the display: "No Battery Connected" on aprs.fi: Bat=0.00V (%) b) when connected to a power supply: (charging the onboard 18650 battery) on the display: 0.29V 0% on aprs.fi: Bat=0.29V (%) https://aprs.fi/info/a/HB9TLY-7

In vscode I did choose ttgo-t-beam-v1_SX1268 not exactly the model I have but the closed one to choose from.

It's not a bit issue but if it could be resolved it would be usefull. (to know the battery voltage when walking around).

Thanks a lot,

Werner

use the ENV:

"ttgo-t-beam-v1" it should work right away

Thanks a lot Ricardo for your fast feedback.

I tried 3 times. Also with beginning from scratch building and uploading the firmware but still the same problem.

Hard resetting via RTS pin... ========================== [SUCCESS] Took 26.63 seconds ==============================================

Environment Status Duration

ttgo-t-beam-v1 SUCCESS 00:00:26.632 ========================= 1 succeeded in 00:00:26.632 =============================================

1) check again the ENVIRONMENT selection as this is MANDATORY to select it right. You should select "ttgo-t-beam-v1" and upload firmware and then go into the upload filesystem.

2) it this still continues, sometimes AXP192 and AXP2101 power management chips needs a reset (so you take out usb and also 18650 battery and then put the battery again to do the power management chip reset)

Thanks a lot Ricardo

It does work now!

I did download the latest version of the tracker (2024-05-30) and set the environment to "ttgo-t-beam-v1". (Before I had the environment set to "ttgo-t-beam-v1_2".)

Great software! Keep on!
