So, I bought a waveshare ups hat (type A) for my raspberry pi, but the example code was a simple python I2C reader for the ina219 chip. Inspired from pisgugar's 3 web gui, I build my own simpler interface that you can see in the screenshot bellow:
As you can see there is info about the battery voltage, current (if it's negative it means that the pi is taking power and if it's positive it means that the batteries are charging) , power and battery status. Also you can set the safe shutdown parameter (you can add a custom one by just adding a line in app/templates/index.html).
To install the app just run these 3 commands your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/raspberrydeveloper/waveshare-upshat-gui.git
cd waveshare-upshat-gui
python3 -m pip install djangoThen got to app/templates/index.html and update this line r.open("get", "http://100.88.54.69:5151/api/sv" + selectedValue.toString()); with your raspberry pi ip address. For example if your ip address is 10.0.0.1 make this line look like this: r.open("get", "http://10.0.0.1:5151/api/sv" + selectedValue.toString()); Note that this is a key component for the safe shutdown function to work.
To run cd into the waveshare-upshat-gui direcotry and run the following command:
sudo python3 manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:5151There is also a terminal version that you can run with this command (does not include auto shutdown) :
sudo python3 uphat.pyWarning: The script requires root privleges in order for the safe shutdown function to work, so make sure to use sudo.
