Creating Schematic
I was just following the tutorial for this journal :D
I decided to add battery support as well. I was looking into adding Wifi; unfortunately, it seems impossible unless I add an entirely new MCU
Im adding 3 LEDS:
One battery percentage
One PWR (shines when PCB is on)
One that is just programmable.
I later decided 2 PWR LEDS are redudant; I was imagining the PWR only for USB-C, however, I can just make it shine a dif color.
I was thinking either MAX17048 IC as the fuel guage or voltage divider; to save space, I will use voltage divider (although it may be more inaccurate, it shouldnt really matter too much.)
Voltage divider calculation
πADC=πBATβ π 2/(π 1+π 2)
1.4=4.2*R2/(R1+R2)
0.33=r2/(r1+r2)
I finished the schematic and am unsure, so I asked for a schematic review
