Cut power when voltage drops below a specified level for XBEE S6

Hey Everyone,

I am currently working on a device that sends UDP packs from an accelerometer through the XBEE S6. I am using the Sparkfun XBee Explorer Regulated board, the Sparkfun Powerfun LiPo Charger Booster. The issue I am having is that I am powering all of this off a battery pack, but when the battery starts to die, and the voltage drops it creates a brown out in XBee WiFi chip and it messes with the firmware. The only solution to this seems to be reprogramming the chip each time this happens.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a small device that reads the voltage and will cut the power if the voltage drops below a specified level, in this case 3.1 volts. Let me know if you need any other information from me to suggest a solution.

 

Thank you!
