# This example shows how to read the voltage from a LiPo battery connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico via our Pico Lipo SHIM...
# ...and uses this reading to calculate how much charge is left in the battery.
# It then displays the info on the screen of Pico Display or Pico Explorer.
# Remember to save this code as main.py on your Pico if you want it to run automatically!
