I want to measurement Battery level.

[GunMin]

(I use nrf51822)

I use two 3V batteries in series.

Therefore Input Voltage of My Circuit is 6V.

My own source was coded as a collection of information.

Oh, by the way, I used a battery is Cr2032 Coin Cell.

Looking for information on a coin cell is found in the link below.

Coin Cell Link

Is there anything wrong with my source?

Um, but uses a lot of battery, the battery is still in 100% condition.

What mistakes did I do?

I need help. please!

Current connection status is shown in the figure below.

The battery is connected exactly as shown.

Without resistance, without capacitor

What is wrong with this approach?

[GunMin]

I tried to configure the circuit again.

I need 3.3V to nRF51822 and OLED.

6V*(6.71M/(5.49M+6.71M)) = 3.3V

If that minimum operating voltage of the OLED is 2.7V,

                             Max    Input        Min     Input
                             3.3V :   6V     =   2.7V :    x

Therefore When the OLED is to use the minimum operating voltage, the input voltage is 4.9V.

      - Maximum voltage:   6V*(2.2M/(2.2M+10M)) = 1.082V
      - Minimum voltage: 4.9V*(2.2M/(2.2M+10M)) = 0.884V
      - ADC value at 6V   - 10 bit setup: 1.082/1.2*1023 = 992
      - ADC value at 4.9V - 10 bit setup: 0.884/1.2*1023 = 754
      - Usable ADC resolution - 10 bit setup: 992-754 = 238

And source are as follows:

#define ADC_REF_VOLTAGE_IN_MILLIVOLTS 1200
#define ADC_PRE_SCALING_COMPENSATION 1
#define DIODE_FWD_VOLT_DROP_MILLIVOLTS 270

#define ADC_RESULT_IN_MILLI_VOLTS(ADC_VALUE)\

    ((((ADC_VALUE) * ADC_REF_VOLTAGE_IN_MILLIVOLTS) / 255) * ADC_PRE_SCALING_COMPENSATION)

Would not have a problem with as above?

I wonder whether even such a way as above.

[Stian Røed Hafskjold]

1. Why are you using 6V if both the OLED and the nRF51 are running on 3.3V?

2. The AIN1 voltage divider is correct.

3. You can not use a voltage divider to lower the voltage for the VCC of nRF51. You have to use a voltage regulator: en.wikipedia.org/.../Voltage_regulator . Have a look at the 5.49MOhm resistor: 6V / 5.49MOhm = 1.1uA. The resistor is too large to supply enough current to the nRF51. The nRF51 requires at least 16 mA when using the radio. So, you would need to lower the resistor values by a factor of tens of thousands. This would cause the resistors to burn up several mAmps all the time.

[GunMin]

I use CR2032 Coin cell(3v).

but Working voltage of OLED is 3.3V.

So I Used Two Coin cell.

Would you say that to me 5.49 (Mega Ohm) and 6.71 (Mega Ohm) is unnecessary?

And change to a lower resistance than it is now, I could add a voltage regulator?(In that part)

[Stian Røed Hafskjold]

5.49 MOhm is too large. You can use lower resistance, but then the battery will be empty really fast. Therefore, you must use a voltage regulator. A voltage regulator INSTEAD of the voltage divider.
