C++ Usage

C++ Usage#

The supports for module with c++ are the same as the c language, but with the addition of the c++ features.

MAX1704X_lib

Installation#

To install the library, download the library from the link above and add it to the Arduino IDE. To add the library to the Arduino IDE, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Arduino IDE.

  2. Install the available version of Adafruit MAX1704X.

Fig. 10 Install Library Adafruit MAX1704X#

Note

It is advised to employ the DualMCU to utilize connectors with the QWIIC method. The implementation code is designed for this board; however, it may be altered to accommodate other compatible boards.

  1. Copy the example code below and paste it into the Arduino IDE.

#include "Adafruit_MAX1704X.h"

Adafruit_MAX17048 maxlipo;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) delay(10);    // wait until serial monitor opens

Serial.println(F("\nAdafruit MAX17048 simple demo"));

if (!maxlipo.begin()) {
    Serial.println(F("Couldnt find Adafruit MAX17048?\nMake sure a battery is plugged in!"));
    while (1) delay(10);
}
Serial.print(F("Found MAX17048"));
Serial.print(F(" with Chip ID: 0x"));
Serial.println(maxlipo.getChipID(), HEX);
}

void loop() {
Serial.print(F("Batt Voltage: ")); Serial.print(maxlipo.cellVoltage(), 3); Serial.println(" V");
Serial.print(F("Batt Percent: ")); Serial.print(maxlipo.cellPercent(), 1); Serial.println(" %");
Serial.println();

delay(2000);  // dont query too often!
}

  1. Compile and upload the code to the board.

Arduino IDE

Acknowledgment#

It should be noted that Adafruit is the creator of the library, and that UNIT-Electronics did not create it in-house. We would like to express our appreciation to Adafruit for their efforts, as well as to the open-source community for their ongoing support in the use and growth of this library through their contributions.
