I was able to add the usermod, connected a 100k resistor between pin32 and the positive side on the battery however in the UI it shows battery 100% at 4.2V when in fact the battery is down to 3.6V. What am I doing wrong here?

I just tried on d1mini and it’s rather accurate 0.3v. Are you able to share you voltage divider setup as in what value are you using for the resistors?

Hello, is it possible to somehow display the battery indication on the display?
