Compilation and Flashing

To compile and flash the firmware to an ESP32 (esp32doit-devkit-v1), you can use the provided Makefile commands:

bash
# Compile the project
make compile

# Flash the firmware to the ESP32
make flash

# Compile and flash in one command
make compile-and-flash

# Clean build files
make clean

# Monitor serial output
make monitor

Calibration

change BATTERY_K in bike.h with:

  • measured mV on battery
  • mean_pin printed on serial monitor
text
#define BATTERY_K 40600 / 195

Questions

What parts does the Latch use?

2 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Latch KiCad files?

From the scipioni/levopen-battery repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is latch-dev/latch/latch.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Latch design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask scipioni before reusing the design.
