Battery Voltage Monitoring and Logging with Gnuplot and Dialog for beepberry

This repository contains scripts to monitor and log battery status on beepberry system. The battery status is checked and logged periodically, and a gnuplot script is used to visualize the logged data. The user can interactively select a range for the plot using a text-based menu.

Scripts

• bat.sh: This script checks the battery status. Copy this to /usr/bin/bat.sh.
• batlog.sh: This script calls bat.sh and logs the output in a specified log file. Copy this to /usr/sbin/batlog.sh.
• batmon.sh: This script visualizes the logged data using gnuplot. The user can interactively select a range for the plot using dialog. Copy this to /usr/bin/batmon.sh.
• install.sh: This script installs the necessary dependencies and sets up the scripts.
