I have had the plug in a socket on the bench and I have volts at 1 & 3 and 9.98k ohms between 2 and gnd. I have charge but according to the script taken from these august pages, only 2ma @ v volts. Any clues as to what I may have done wrong ?
At what voltage? Once the battery is fully, the (charge) current will drop to 2ma... i.e. my battery is sat at 4.18v, and is fully charged, with a 2ma charge current (although I doubt it is really 2ma... but is in fact 0ma at that point and the 2ma is just a accuracy error... I haven't bothered measuring the output from the PMIC to see how accurate it is yet).
Try this script if you're not getting charge state / current / voltage / capacity readings. Note it needs bc to display the voltage (sudo apt-get install bc)... one of these days I'll get around to either removing that dependency or adding a check for it...
You'll be able to load it directly onto the pine64 if it has internet access with the following command:
Code:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pfeerick/05e5715733f00dcf303636c80abff598/raw/9bfca4be89ed219658426701b702a2663329f2df/pine64-battery.shDon't forget to do a chmod +x pine64-battery.sh afterwards to make it executable!
