Welcome to the BattManPi wiki!

BattMan Pi is a computer controlled battery manager. It is an updated version of BattMan II originally designed by Stefan Vorkoetter in 2007. It is intended for typical rechargeable batteries used by R/C and electronics hobbyists.

For full details of the original project, read the BattMan II web page here.

The main differences between BattMan II and BattMan Pi are as follows:

• PCB has been designed to fit on top of a Raspberry Pi, and connects to the GPIO header.
• Circuit has been modified to accept 5 V or 3.3 V logic levels.
• Operating software has been re-written in Python 3 with a TKinter GUI.
• BattMan Pi has not yet been built or tested.
