How to get battery volt / percentage message send to mqtt?

[Mr_sensor]

@gohan Tried to find out what causing that but can not figure it out. I'm bot a real coderer so its trial and error :) and trying to understand form other sketches / posts. Any idea where to look for?

try adding a delay(500) before the analogread

delay(500)

Hi, tried that (already tried it with wait). Now I added it here:

delay(500);
    int sensorValue = analogRead(BATTERY_SENSE_PIN);

Also tried it here:

 if (oldBatteryPcnt != batteryPcnt) {
        // Power up radio after sleep
        delay(500);       
        sendBatteryLevel(batteryPcnt);
        oldBatteryPcnt = batteryPcnt;
    } 
                                                                                                                                                                      
  sleep(SLEEP_TIME); //sleep a bit  ```

Both did not help still ending up with 0 . 
So what should be the best place the right place to put the delay?

the second one is useless. It is odd that it misses the analog reads. What AVR boards version are you using?

[Mr_sensor]

@gohan I'm using the EasyPCB board with an arduino pro mini 3,3v

[gohan]

I mean in Arduino IDE library manager

[Mr_sensor]

@gohan

Arduino Pro or Pro Mini
Programmer AVR ISP
ATmega328P (3,3v 8mhz)

Still not getting it working! Any thoughts on this?

[gohan]

Try a simple example sketch that reads the analog pin just to make sure the hardware is OK, or try another pro mini

@gohan Ok will try that see if I made a fault somewhere
