Hi there,
My group have been tasked to come up with a wall avoiding robot. After searching through the web for some help, we were able to present the robot. Now, we are required to include extra functions to the robot. Few of which given to us by our supervisor is to include in a light sensor and a solar panel.
The plan is to have the robot followed the light using the light sensors, and then charge itself using solar energy.
In order for it to do so, we figured that a battery level detector would have to be present. So we would be able to use "IF, ELSE" code to stop using it's PING sensor, and use the light sensor instead when the battery reaches a critical level.
Would like to know if it is possible for my Arduino UNO to detect the battery level of our Li-Po battery pack, if so, how should we go about doing a simple one? We tried searching on the net, but i could not find any.
We don't have to know how much juice is left in the battery, just for the robot to gauge so it could move itself towards the sunlight for it to get charged.
Lastly, is coding required for detecting the battery level?
Thanks in advance.
