The other goes to Battery + and also to Arduino Vin One end goes to Battery - and also to Arduino GND with Voltage Divider (2x 10K resistor) In this instructable, I am not explaining about "how to get your LCD display works", but I will leave some links here (which I use) to get your LCD works through I2C connection: But I will never try it on purpose and risking my Arduino to get burnt :P I guess it will be okay, Arduino designers must have think of this possibility and prevent this power conflict. I am not sure what will happen if you have power from usb and also from Vin at the same time. Uploading this will show you nothing before you connect all the parts needed for this project, but sooner or later you will still need to upload this sketch. Well, I would like to upload this sketch to Arduino first before connecting it to a battery for testing. You can correct me if I am wrong and any better explanation to this is most welcome on the comment section. I am not that good in calculating such thing but that is what I summarize from sources I read. 1K to 20K resistors can be used, but the larger the resistance the lower the power consumed by the Voltage Divider. To divide the voltage to half, we need two resistor with the same value. It is simply made up of two resistors in series. Since Arduino pins support only 5 volts maximum, then we need a Voltage Divider. I would rather had noticed this battery condition on the last run but I am too lazy to check it with multimeter.Īrduino Uno needs 5 volts power to run, then we need at least 7.4 volts to 9 volts battery. Then they are disappointed and need to wait for charging time. Sometimes when my kids are about to run it, it moves very slow, low battery. When we are using a battery powered Arduino such as RC robots or Temperature Controller, we might want to check the battery voltage if it needs to be charged or replaced.
