Hi everyone
All new to the site and pretty much a novice at electronics. I'm having a small pet project where I want to have a battery from which the device runs in normal mode, but the ability to get 5V in, and in that case I want the battery to charge from that current, and the device switch to that power source.
I'd also want to be able to get some info from the device controlling the battery (pretty much what you can get in a laptop) so there has to be a micro controller there.
I'm pretty sure that this is something one can buy from digikey etc but I don't have a clue what it's called so if someone does it'd be of great help if that someone would share it with me.
I did have a look at microship but to be honest can't I figure out if those devices would do what I want.
Thanks in advance
