 This Usermod allows you to monitor the battery level of your battery powered project.
 
-You can see the battery level in the `info modal` right under the `estimated current`. 
+You can see the battery level and voltage in the `info modal`. 
 
 For this to work the positive side of the (18650) battery must be connected to pin `A0` of the d1mini/esp8266 with a 100k ohm resistor (see [Useful Links](#useful-links)).
 
 If you have a esp32 board it is best to connect the positive side of the battery to ADC1 (GPIO32 - GPIO39)

 ## Change Log
+2021-09-02
+* added "Battery voltage" to info
+* added circuit diagram to readme
+* added MQTT support, sending battery voltage
+* minor fixes
 
 2021-08-15
 * changed `USERMOD_BATTERY_MIN_VOLTAGE` to 2.6 volt as default for 18650 batteries
