Battery follow up in UI Flow2

[csierra67]

Hi there

I am starting to experiment with Core S3 . I could not find the Power block available in UI Flow 1 that allows to follow battery remaining capacity, battery voltage and possibly battery current.
The block should be under hardware but there is nothing like that to add.
I am missing something or is this block just not yet implemented ?
Thanks a lot for your comments

The S3 series is not compatible with UIFlow 1 due to the way it works.

Thanks a lot, but as the title indicates is there a battery follow up of Core S3 in UI Flow ?

I mean UIFlow 2

After 157 views and No answer, I conclude that nobnody has an answer ;-)... Poor reactivity of this forum ;-(

Core 2 being able to be programmed with UI Flow 1 and UI Flow 2 and as the battery follow up exists in UI Flow2, I conclude that it is missing for now in UI Flow2 and hopefully M5 stack will provide it.

@csierra67 Python's API, blockl does not yet exist.

import M5

# Battery percentage
M5.Power.getBatteryLevel()

# set Charge Current
M5.Power.setChargeCurrent()

Thanks for the explanation. It is a pity, when the MCU runs on battery, there is no monitoring that would allow the user to take action when the battery comes close to the threshold value.

This code will help :

 print(M5.Power.getBatteryLevel())
