Battery charge level

Simple circuit to show the battery charge level, using three leds and serial output.

This is my very first project with Fritzing and Arduino.

It is a simple battery level indicator that uses three LED. According the amount of charge in the battery, all LEDS are on or, two, or one, or none.

With a simple resistive divider, a battery up to 10volts can be measured. Actually, the capacity of the battery can be increased according to the resistive divider used.

To mount it, follow the design in the Fritizing project attached.

Be confortable to change anything you need.

El dibujo no concuerda con el programa. Segun el dibujo el pinAnalogico que se usa como entradaAnalogica es el 0, pero el programa dice que el 3. Asi pues: Se pincha el hardware al pinAnalogico 3 Ò Se modifica esta linea del programa que esta en la cabecera: int sensorPin = 3; por esta otra: int sensorPin = 0;
