[edit] Battery monitor via bme

n8x0 support is in devel as of 0.14. 

apt-get install advanced-power

To start the advanced-power applet: 

Mer->Settings->Settings
Panels
Status Bar
Advanced Power
Ok and reboot

There is an issue right now with python/advanced-power-monitor, you need to do the following 

cd /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
sudo ln -sf ../site-packages/hildondesktop.* .

[edit] Request for help

smartqx is still under development, anyone with a smartqx and some python knowledge is encouraged to install hald-bme-smartq according to the instructions below and help debug the advanced-power applet, please contact toggles at the google mail domain for help or if you can provide any assitance.

[edit] Battery monitor on smartq (currently broken)

Thanks to zenvoid and qwerty12 for all the help
As of 0.14 you need to upgrade to Devel and then as root (sudo was broken on the tablet I was borrowing time on): 

cd
wget http://tommywatson.com/Mer/hald-addon-smartq_0.02_armel.deb
dpkg -i hald-addon-smartq_0.02_armel.deb
apt-get install advanced-power
wget http://tommywatson.com/Mer/AdvancedPowerMonitor.tgz
cd /
tar -zxf /root/AdvancedPowerMonitor.tgz

To start the advanced-power applet: 

Mer->Settings->Settings
Panels
Status Bar
Advanced Power
Ok and reboot
