  Is the board connect to a power source when you are checking?

  Hi Eric,

  After further testing, I think this may have been the case.
  Thanks,

  Hi Eric,

  I'm revisiting this issue following further testing.

  With the sensor not connected to a power source it is always reporting 99% Battery Charge. I have been streaming data for 4 hours and the battery charge is still reporting 99%.

  I'm using MetaBase Android App (v2.1.11) on my Samsung S8, Android 8.0 to check and I am also using the following to obtain the battery level:

  newBoard.readBatteryLevelAsync().continueWith(task1 -> {
  getActivity().runOnUiThread(() -> {
  Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Battery Level for: " + newDeviceState.deviceName + " is " + task1.getResult().toString());
  newDeviceState.deviceBatteryLevel = task1.getResult().toString();
  connectedDevices.notifyDataSetChanged();
  });
  return null;
  });

  My Sensor's Information:
  Model - MetaMotionR
  Model # - 5
  Firmware - 1.3.7
  Hardware - 0.2

  Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here.

  Cheers

  • Try reading the battery voltage level as well as the charge %
  • Are you reading the battery values periodically while streaming the data?
