Lorawan 1.0.3 5.5 End-DeviceStatus(DevStatusReq, DevStatusAns. Battery Percentage

[Cloolalang]

Hi All, I really like this library, very well documented and easy to get going.
I was wondering if I could request a feature:

I would like to check battery and DL margin using DevStatusReq.

would it be difficult to expose this in this library as the Microchip can do it MAC SET BAT.

Cheers

Oh, Maybe not.

OK I did a quick and nasty: in TheThingsNetwork.cpp file I added:

`void TheThingsNetwork::Setbattery()//patricks very crude DEvstatusReq Batter percentage function
{
readResponse(SYS_TABLE, SYS_TABLE, SYS_GET_VDD, buffer, sizeof(buffer));//fetch volts reading from VDD (I dont know where this comes from!)
int val = atoi(buffer);//convert to int
debugPrint(SENDING);
debugPrintLn();
debugPrint(val);//print to debug
debugPrintLn();
//Lorawan DevStatus sends battery level up to the netwotk as a percentage, 1-254 = 1-100% , 0 and 255 are reserved for mains power on or no battery infor available
if (val < 3200){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "0");
}
else if (val > 3200 && val < 3300){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "64");;
}
else if (val > 3300 && val < 3400){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "128");;
}
else if (val > 3400 && val < 3500){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "250");;
}
else if (val > 3500){
sendMacSet(MAC_BAT, "255");;
}

}`
