Thread: CFX v10 battery life indicator question

    Default CFX v10 battery life indicator question

    Hello Erv and the TCSS family,
    I need help with how to program my CFX v10 board with my 18650 battery to check power level via my noepixel blade. I know to use the AUX switch (out of deep sleep), but with a fully charged cell, the pixels only light up less than halfway up the blade and do not show anything when the cell is 50% or lower. And yes, my config file is set at the correct 122 pixels I have have on one side of my two strips (244 total). And I have seven cells that I rotate and they all do the same thing.
    Is there a way to calibrate the board with a fully charged cell so the entire blade is lit and as the battery capacity diminishes less pixels are lit?
    Thanks to all. I have three CFX's I want to do this with.

    Yes you can program it to read accurately. I do not recall the setting but it should be in the manual.

    Thanks Tim! I went thru the manual closely and it looks like the comfig is plilh that has 3400,4200 values to it. I'll just have to search on values to replace them with.
    BTW, I received my TCSS order today that includes a new CFX v10 board.
