Finding battery voltage?
hi all. last year team 3044 made a robot that used an arm attached to a window motor. i assisted with the autonomus code, and the issue we had was that when the battery voltage went down, the arm moved less. (and of course we had not other feedback control sensor) so we attemped to use the voltage to change the power outputed to the arm durring autonomus. we failed. we had the code, exept we could not get a voltage value as an int or any other value. we were using labview last year, but now we have switched to java. we have the voltage outputed to the driver station as it is. i think it may be of use this year.
can anyone help? thank you all in advance ^_^
