How about Battery level support for Hexiwear ?

Is there possibility to add battery level and status as a example for mbed ?

Question relating to:

Hexiwear team to share code, project ideas, trick and tips

So. I've prepared temporary driver for battery based on the original firmware: https://developer.mbed.org/users/fredlak/code/Hexi_Battery_Example/ and it works :-) I'm waiting for your solution (more mbed style :-) ) Thank you for hexiwear (great platform)

Regards

In the summary it comes up as unanswered, so for sometime I didn't realise you had answered your own query ( https://developer.mbed.org/users/fredlak/code/Hexi_Battery_Example/ ).

So that peeps see an answer to your question was given, I am here to simply say - - THANKS, the link you give above worked well for me! Thanks for taking the time to share that.

I also want to say .... COME ON HEXIWEAR GUYS..

Lots of unanswered questions and poor support on the mbed platform. Seems like it all died about August 2016.

Great device, but don't just go and leave everyone to it. Eg: I see a lot of people want answers to how to put it into a *SIMPLE* low power mode (like a low power "yield" in a loop - - not set semaphores and other overcomplex ways of achieving a very standard requirement unless you want the device to consume about 60mA draining the battery in no time), how to measure heart rate without having to download the infamous official kinetis toolchain (mbed is much better), how to rd/wr Flash, how to set a watchdog without being a rocket scientist....
