Arduino Voltmeter :)

Hey guys again :)

In this project i have tried to explain how to make Voltmeter with an Arduino....

Firstly , as you can see from the Voltage Divider Circuit, How we can measure to voltage on the R2 resistor?
Well, it is very simple: Using Voltage division formula , DCIN*R2/(R1+R2). which give us the voltage on the R2 resistor.

Based on this formula we can built a Voltmeter with an Arduino...Using 10k and 1k for the resistors so that i get 1/11 ratio. Which means We can multiply 5v with 11 and in theoretically we will be able to measure up to 55 Volt. However, do not try to measure above the 25-30 Volt. I have never measured but i am not sure arduino can work properly with that much Volt. So, it may cause damge your arduino... SAFETY FIRST :)

Secondly,we are connecting this output(R2 VOLTAGE) to the A0 pin.Which means we will get 0-1023 values. When the voltage is 0 our value will eb 0, when the voltage is 5 our value will be 1023. So we need to multiply our value with 5 and divide it with 1023. Thats why we have used that formule inside the code : vout = (value * 5) / 1024.0

Also for the first time i have created FUNCTION in my codes.I have never done this before in my projects,but this time instead of copy-paste my code into most part of my code i just created function and just called it as function whenever i need it :)

And lastly , in order to calculate percentage of battery, i have divided my project in 4 parts. First for 1.5v , Second for 3v , Third for 9v and ,Last one for the Free measure .
