As part of the alignment project I am building a "mobile" handheld unit also. This will be battery powered and I'm thinking of using the small 9V (PP-9 ??) battery as power source. I also want to monitor this battery's voltage through an Analogue input pin (28x1 - Anal_0).
I am thinking normal voltage divider as follow:
+9V(bat)
|
|
100K
|
|----> Anal input
|
100K
|
|
0v
I am thinking 100K divider R's to reduce "wasted" current to ground to only 90uA, while getting a nominal 4.5V to the analogue input.
Any thoughts on this please ?
EDIT: The 9V battery only for its size consideration while I can then stil regulate down to 5V...
