I have a home built robot using a pc board, and not using a laptop computer. I have lithium battery running everything. I would like to add a battery monitor hardware and use ROS to monitor it. Has anyone accomplished something like this? Thank you!
Hi,
I've added this weekend such feature for my robot, using an Arduino NANO. The Arduino uses internal ADC and writes current voltages via USB to the ROS computer. A simple ROS-ArduPowerDaemon collects all messages from the device and publishes it as topics. Additional, I write all values to /tmp/ups-dummy, which can be used be a standard UPS-Deamon to shutdown the system.
This week I will update the docs for my robot.
Please see: https://github.com/mockbot/MockBot
Cheers Christian
