Is there a way to read the battery capacity from the Power Dock from the command line?
-
So following on with my experiments using the power dock I am curious if there is a way to read battery capacity from the dock. I don't mean via the LEDs which is not much use if you are logged into it remote or it is encased in a box.
Does the dock communicate with the Omega at all? When the battery reaches 10% is there any way for it to warn the Omega? I doon't see it exposing any i2c devices or am I missing something?
Also I found a bit of an odd bug. When the battery charges to 100% and the USB micro power is connected, the 5V power becomes intermittent. It sort of flashes on and off several times a second. I unplug the USB power and the 5V lines come back. This is show in the logs as the USB sound card I have connected drops off the bus.

So been sniffing about power-dock and see it is writing to a GPIO 19 ?

+++ exited with 0 +++Do we read from a GPIO pin for a battery level or something?
