Low Voltage Shutdown


Low voltage shutdown is testing the battery voltage against BATT_SHUTDOWN_LOW level and when the voltage is below that a running user program will be stopped, running motors will stop, a popup window will appear on the screen and a timer will be started. If the voltage not rises over the BATT_SHUTDOWN_LOW level within LOW_VOLTAGE_SHUTDOWN_TIME the brick will save to flash and power down.
