Monitor battery resource
For my robot project I would like to have the propeller monitor the battery levels; my battery is going to be a 6V 11AH, which when fully charged is about 6.95V. Probably when the battery gets down to 5V I will initiate a program for the robot to start looking for a charger.
Can this be done with the prop? If it can, what kind of circuitry would I need? I guess what I am looking for is the first step with this.
Thanks

In this same document, there is a D/A conversion example, and some coverage. Would be nice if it would have covered A/D conversion, with an example of monitoring the nine volt battery that powers the PE kit. After looking at the write up, would A/D conversion be just the opposite of D/A. Since the prop pins are 3.3V sensitive, I guess I would have to figure out the sequence of resistors to lower the voltage. No guessing is allowed here, 6V would probably fry a pin on the prop.
