# Testing SITL battery model
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This example allows the built in battery model to be evaluated. The battery is defined by the parameters in a json configuration file, such as [this one](../../../../Tools/autotest/models/Callisto.json).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The example only works with the linux target. Configure and build with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./waf configure --board linux
|
||
|
|
./waf build --targets examples/EvaluateBatteryModel
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The example can then be run, the first argument is the path to the json model definition. The second is the constant current draw to apply.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./build/linux/examples/EvaluateBatteryModel Tools/autotest/models/Callisto.json 50
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gives the output:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Loading model Tools/autotest/models/Callisto.json
|
||
|
|
Loaded model params from Tools/autotest/models/Callisto.json
|
||
|
|
Simulating 50.40v, 44.00 ah battery with resistance of 0.024000
|
||
|
|
Voltage from 50.40 to 35.28 with constant current draw of 50.00
|
||
|
|

0.00, 49.20
|
||
|
|
0.05, 49.20
|

|
|
0.10, 49.20
|
||
|
|
0.15, 49.20
|

|
0.20, 49.20

0.25, 49.20
|
||
|
|
0.30, 49.20
|
||
|
|
....
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be output re-directed to a file with:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./build/linux/examples/EvaluateBatteryModel Tools/autotest/models/Callisto.json 50 >> battery_test.csv
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The data can then be compared to real battery data and the model definition changed to better represent the vehicle being modelled.
