Re: Reading Battery Voltage

Two thoughts:

1. Are you are supplying power to the analog breakout? If that wago connector isn't hooked up, the battery voltage feedback won't work.

2. Are you sure you have your battery jumper in the right place? There are two possible ways to get the jumper on there. One way will give you battery voltage, the other won't.

An easy way to check this is to use a multimeter to measure the voltage between the jumped pins and ground. If you get something close to battery voltage, you're good. If not, check your connections.
