@GonzoG: Thanks... Would 1MΩ be too high?

Measuring the battery with a blue pill

Hi all, I would like to measure the battery voltage of my data logger. I did some research and found that I need a voltage divider. I also learned that if you want to minimize the battery drain you need to use higher rated resistors. I found the blogpost https://jeelabs.org/2013/05/16/measuring-the-...
