Macro reference
ClearAlert
|
ClearAlert |
| Clears the alert status bit, if the voltage is still below the specified threshold level then the alert interrupt pin will fire again. | |
 - VOID
|
Return |
Initialise
|
|
Initialise |
| Configures the I2C bus ready for communications and applies the settings defined in the properties. Also sets the default power level to awake. Returns 1 if the module is detected 0 if the module is not found | |
 - BYTE
|
Return |
ReadStateOfCharge
|
|
ReadStateOfCharge |
| Reads the SOC and returns as a floating point value in % between 0 and 100 | |
 - FLOAT
|
Return |
ReadStateOfChargeByte
|
|
ReadStateOfChargeByte |
| Reads the SOC and returns as a byte value in % between 0 and 100 | |
| - BYTE
|
Return |
ReadVoltage
|
|
ReadVoltage |
| Reads the voltage and returns as a floating point value in Volts. | |
| - FLOAT
|
Return |
SetPowerMode
|
|
SetPowerMode |
| Allows the device to be put to sleep and woken from sleep. | |
 - BOOL
|
Mode |
| 0=Awake, 1=Sleep | |
| - VOID
|
Return |
