Hi,

first of all i like to thank you for your work on this projekt - I like mysensors very much!

I have a question regarding voltage measurement of a battery.

On this site (http://provideyourown.com/2012/secret-arduino-voltmeter-measure-battery-voltage/) i read, that you can measure the voltage of the battery without the need of seperate analog pin using the internal reference only.
In the Guide on mysensors (Battery powered sensor) you use two resistors and an analog pin to read the voltage.

From my perspective the way only using the internal refenrece voltage of 1.1V needs fewer components (no additional resistors, no analog pin) and should save some current that would otherwise flow through the resistors.

Is there any advantage in doing it the way described on mysensors that i am missing?

Thank you for your help!

Kindly Regards
Bene
