Code Examples

### Example 1: Arduino Battery Monitoring with 18650 Protection Board

In this example, we'll use the 18650 12V 10A Lithium Protection Board with an Arduino Uno to monitor the battery voltage and current.

```c++
const int voltagePin = A0;  // Voltage sensing pin
const int currentPin = A1;  // Current sensing pin

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int voltageReading = analogRead(voltagePin);
  float voltage = voltageReading  12.0 / 1023.0; // Convert to voltage value

int currentReading = analogRead(currentPin);
  float current = currentReading  10.0 / 1023.0; // Convert to current value

Serial.print("Battery Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltage);
  Serial.println(" V");

Serial.print("Battery Current: ");
  Serial.print(current);
  Serial.println(" A");

delay(1000);
}
```

### Example 2: Raspberry Pi Battery Management with 18650 Protection Board (Python)

In this example, we'll use the 18650 12V 10A Lithium Protection Board with a Raspberry Pi to monitor the battery voltage and current, and shut down the system when the battery is critically low.

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

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

voltage_pin = 17  # Voltage sensing pin
current_pin = 23  # Current sensing pin

GPIO.setup(voltage_pin, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(current_pin, GPIO.IN)

while True:
    voltage_reading = GPIO.input(voltage_pin)
    current_reading = GPIO.input(current_pin)

if voltage_reading < 3.0:  # Critical battery voltage (adjust to your needs)
        print("Battery critically low! Shutting down...")
        # Add shutdown command or script here
        break

time.sleep(1)
```

### Example 3: ESP8266 Battery-Powered IoT Device with 18650 Protection Board (MicroPython)

In this example, we'll use the 18650 12V 10A Lithium Protection Board with an ESP8266 board to create a battery-powered IoT device that monitors its own battery level and sends updates to a remote server.

```python
import machine
import urequests
import utime

voltage_pin = machine.ADC(0)  # Voltage sensing pin

while True:
    voltage_reading = voltage_pin.read_uv() / 1000
    battery_level = (voltage_reading - 2.5) / 1.5  100  # Calculate battery level (adjust to your needs)

if battery_level < 20:  # Critical battery level (adjust to your needs)
        print("Battery critically low! Sending update...")
        urequests.post("https://your-remote-server.com/battery_update", json={"battery_level": battery_level})
        break

utime.sleep(60)  # Update every 1 minute
```
