How to get an ACCURATE battery readout with Desktop Execution Widget?
 
Is there a way to get an ACCURATE battery readout with Desktop Execution Widget?

I use this code for battery percentage
Code:
hal-device bme | awk -F"[. ]" '$5 == "is_charging" {chrg = $7}; $5 == "percentage" {perc = $7} END if (chrg == "false") {print perc "%"} else {print "Chrg"}'
But i am sure this is one of the default commands for the commands button.

don't be fooled by the "accurate" numbers. those are only approximations and probably don't help at all.

If you want a more accurate readings you really want to load the bq27x00_battery module to get it.

If you see this you are probably bored

After use the battery meter 1.5, it displays 2567.54 % and 33.918 V @@

how come the percent is in thousand??

Same happens to me, because I had two bq27x00_battery modules loaded...
So simply delete the unnecessary entry from /etc/modules and reboot.
Code:
leafpad /etc/modules
The bq27x00_battery module is loaded by default so no need for an extra entry in /etc/modules ;-)

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are i
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

bq27x00_battery



What should I delete? and after delete, can I read the Temperature??

Just delete the line saying
Code:
bq27x00_battery
So final file looks like this
Code:
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.       
#                                                         
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are i
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

I don't know what changed but my battery reading if screwy again. I confirmed that the line was in fact deleted from /etc/modules. hmm any suggestions?

my QBW is being fixed, you can look to my thread, retsaw has been tweaking my code, and also have a fix for blacklisting the bq27x00 in v47
