Code Examples

### Example 1: Using the Battery with an Arduino Board and GPS Module

In this example, we'll connect the Witty Fox battery to an Arduino board and a GPS module to create a basic GPS tracking device.

```c++
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

// Define GPS module pins
#define GPS_RX 4
#define GPS_TX 3

// Create a SoftwareSerial object for GPS communication
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(GPS_RX, GPS_TX);

// Create a TinyGPSPlus object
TinyGPSPlus gps;

void setup() {
  // Initialize GPS serial communication
  gpsSerial.begin(9600);

// Initialize the GPS module
  Serial.println("Initializing GPS module...");
  delay(1000);
}

void loop() {
  // Read GPS data
  while (gpsSerial.available() > 0) {
    if (gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())) {
      // Get GPS data
      float latitude = gps.location.lat();
      float longitude = gps.location.lng();
      Serial.print("Latitude: ");
      Serial.println(latitude, 6);
      Serial.print("Longitude: ");
      Serial.println(longitude, 6);
    }
  }
  delay(1000);
}
```

### Example 2: Using the Battery with a Raspberry Pi and Python

In this example, we'll connect the Witty Fox battery to a Raspberry Pi and use Python to monitor the battery's voltage level.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

# Define the GPIO pin for the battery voltage monitoring
BATTERY_PIN = 17

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up the battery pin as an input
GPIO.setup(BATTERY_PIN, GPIO.IN)

while True:
    # Read the battery voltage level
    voltage_level = GPIO.input(BATTERY_PIN)
    if voltage_level:
        print("Battery voltage level: HIGH")
    else:
        print("Battery voltage level: LOW")
    time.sleep(1)
```

Important Notes

When using the Witty Fox battery, ensure that your device's power consumption is within the recommended specifications to avoid over-discharging or over-charging the battery.
 Always follow proper safety precautions when handling lithium-ion batteries to avoid damage or injury.

I hope this documentation helps you in using the Witty Fox 3.7V 800mAh Li-ion GPS Battery in your IoT projects!
