Add battery percent and current #42

Open norgeous opened 7 years ago

norgeous commented 7 years ago

So it currently supports the battery voltage via:

var BAT_VOLT_MSB_REGISTER = 0x78; (in /lib/axp209.js)

Looking at battery.sh I believe support for the battery's percent and amps can be done via commands like:

BAT_VOLT_MSB=$(i2cget -y -f 0 0x34 0x78)
BAT_VOLT_LSB=$(i2cget -y -f 0 0x34 0x79)

BAT_IDISCHG_MSB=$(i2cget -y -f 0 0x34 0x7C)
BAT_IDISCHG_LSB=$(i2cget -y -f 0 0x34 0x7D)

BAT_GAUGE_HEX=$(i2cget -y -f 0 0x34 0xb9)
BAT_GAUGE_DEC=$(($BAT_GAUGE_HEX))

Can you add these in?

@norgeous pull requests welcome ...

I will attempt to get this done today (battery % only). I imagine that the code will be quite similar to chipio.BatteryVoltage(); and will be a five.sensor. Will let you know how I get on.

43 for battery percentage and now #45 for battery charge amps
