lol yeah you beat me.
if you can't find the answer we are happy to help, but it's a pretty common problem. try searching with google if the forum search isn't helping.

enjoy your decreased battery life and non-updating percentage.

Isn't easier and better to write this line like this :
${execi 10 hal-device bme | awk /battery.charge_level.percentage/'{print $3"% "}'} ?

First of all, You're banging on half-a-year old thread without any reason.

As for Your question - because we do not like to breed laziness

LMGTFY, or what?

Please help me. Conky starts to show -1% battery with bq27x00_battery module loaded. With BME %% showing okay but lower. What can i do?
Old backup restored by backupmenu but conky still showing -1% battery.

Using power kernel v52, I see the uevent stuff is actually in /sys/class/power_supply/rx51-battery/uevent

I can read the uevent file. But since /bq27200-0/ is hardcoded (see first post), what can one do to get conky to read from rx51-battery?

Nobody? Ok...i've created a Queen Beecon Widget to display the battery temperature. Here's the command line for it:

Code:

awk 'BEGIN { FS="=" } /POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP/ { print $2/10 "°C"; if ($2 < 350) exit 0; else if ($2 <400) exit 1; else exit 2 }' /sys/class/power_supply/rx51-battery/uevent

Note the code will exit 0 if the temperature is less than 35 C, else exit 1 if it's less than 40, else exit 2. This can be used in QBW to select the widget background color, e.g. red when the battery gets hot.

changing it in Conky sourcecode and pushing updated version. It should be trivial to do, I might take look on it when I have free time (which most likely mean I won't look at it 'till I die of old age, sadly. so, feel free to implement my theorizations in practice

).

Please clarify. Did you change it or are you postponing until old age? What'd you mean by theorizations?

Also, using USB Mode, after switching to "USB host mode (with boost)", which "stops BME", conky will read display some temperature, which also seems to have tenths of a degree Celsius (unlike in the uevent file); I have not applied any conky update of yours yet. Would you know how/why?
