Hi,

browsing through the legOS 0.2.5 source I found the following part in
kernel/battery.c:
---------------------------------------
//! battery indicator handler, called from system timer interrupt
#ifdef CONF_RCX_COMPILER
void battery_refresh(void) {
#else
HANDLER_WRAPPER("battery_refresh","battery_refresh_core");
void battery_refresh_core(void) {
#endif
    int bmv = get_battery_mv();

    if (bmv > BATTERY_NORMAL_THRESHOLD_MV)
dlcd_hide(LCD_BATTERY_X);
    else if (bmv > BATTERY_LOW_THRESHOLD_MV)       <------ ???
dlcd_show(LCD_BATTERY_X);
}
---------------------------------------

Now I wonder: shouldn't the second condition read:

    else if (bmv < BATTERY_LOW_THRESHOLD_MV)
dlcd_show(LCD_BATTERY_X);

to check for a sufficient low battery level (or maybe I'm just
getting it wrong...)?

Cheers,
Olaf

(...) in (...) Statement should be right. It's same behavier found in original firmware: (URL) (battery power (cc5a) > 1a2c (6700 mV)) call ROM 1e4a (r6=301b) // clear battery low indicator else if (battery power (cc5a) > 189c (6300 mV)) call ROM (...)
