# Battery Health Monitor

## Overview

The Battery Health Monitor is a Python application designed to assess the health of 18650 lithium-ion cells using multiple measurement devices. The application communicates with the devices via I2C and provides an MQTT interface for real-time updates on cell insertion. It also supports HTTP GET requests to retrieve detailed information about the cells.

## Features

- Monitor the health of 18650 cells through multiple measurement devices.
- Utilize I2C for reading current, voltage, and temperature data.
- MQTT interface for receiving information about cell slots.
- HTTP GET requests for querying cell data (max voltage, min voltage, capacity).
- Configurable measurement cycles and C values.

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
   ```
   git clone <repository-url>
   cd battery-health-monitor
   ```

2. Install the required packages:
   ```
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

## Usage

To run the application, execute the following command:
```
python src/main.py
```

## Configuration

The configuration for the measurement devices can be found in `/config/config.yaml`. Modify this file to set the number of devices, cycle count, and C value for measurements.
