#include <SoftwareSerial.h>// Define the serial pins for communication with the charger
#define RX_PIN 2
#define TX_PIN 3SoftwareSerial chargerSerial(RX_PIN, TX_PIN);void setup() {
// Initialize the serial communication at 9600 baud
chargerSerial.begin(9600);
}void loop() {
// Send a request to the charger to retrieve the battery voltage
chargerSerial.println("V");// Wait for the charger to respond
delay(50);// Read the response from the charger
if (chargerSerial.available() > 0) {
String response = chargerSerial.readStringUntil('
');
int voltage = response.toInt();// Print the battery voltage to the serial console
Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
Serial.print(voltage);
Serial.println(" mV");
}// Wait 1 second before sending the next request
delay(1000);
}
```### Example 2: Python Script for Monitoring Charging StatusIn this example, we will demonstrate how to use the iMax B6AC Smart Balance Charger 80W with a Python script to monitor the charging status of a Lithium-ion battery.```python
import serial# Initialize the serial communication at 9600 baud
charger_serial = serial.Serial('COM3', 9600, timeout=1)while True:
# Send a request to the charger to retrieve the charging status
charger_serial.write(b"S
")# Wait for the charger to respond
response = charger_serial.readline().decode().strip()# Parse the response to determine the charging status
if response == "Charging":
print("The battery is charging...")
elif response == "Full":
print("The battery is fully charged.")
else:
print("The charger is idle.")# Wait 1 second before sending the next request
time.sleep(1)
```Note: In the above examples, the serial communication pins and baud rates may need to be adjusted according to the specific setup and requirements.
