I am just starting to build my outdoor sensors and was wandering if there is any way to report the battery level ?
Thanks Nikki

Re: nodemcu battery monitoring ?
Yes, but battery percentage need to be calculated with formulas. If that is needed.

Re: nodemcu battery monitoring ?
Thank you I have been doing some reading and i think ive found a simple way off achieving what i need. Is it correct saying I can use the Analog Input device and connect a resistor of 100k between A0 and the battery + ?
Thanks Nikki

Re: nodemcu battery monitoring ?
I'm no expert but I guess that's one way of doing it but do you plan to use more analog signals? If not I'd go with the INA219.
