Re: Documentation for ESP-WROOM-02 with 18650 battery socket

For me it was confusing to see the reported value for A0 pin of 1024 (fully saturated) at a voltage of 3.9v, I would expect the divider to be good for measuring the battery voltage, wouldn't you too? I mean, this is a module with a battery socket, where it helps to have a voltage divider to measure up to 3.3v when the battery maximum is 4.2v?
On other forums some guys asked me if I can measure the resistors but it seems they recommand to not measure them on the pcb, as the other circuitry is influencing the result, with the link you provided (I google but couldn't find to many result for ESP wroom with 18650 battery, thank you for finding out that link!!!) some things are clearer now.
What are your suggestions to be able to measure up to 4.2v?
I only have one idea, to swap the R2 resistors with a lower voltage, I have to look over to see what I can find around 68k . Is there a simpler way to be able to measure up to 4.2v ?
Thank you.
