K9 Diaries - Development

ADC and level shifter
The first job is battery monitoring, as I don't know how long to expect the batteries to last then it is important to have some feedback from them to determine their charge level. The Batteries at 12.4V each and the minimum discharge level is 9V.
A simple voltage dividing pair of resistors and a connection to the Raspberry Pi via the I2C bus has been made. The Adafruit library and example program has been added to the Pi and tested, so I just have to wire the inputs to the batteries and adjust the program to monitior the voltage and calibrate the output to reflect the true voltage.
