You need to separate nano and /etc

Thanks for this guide, it's interesting me for a future build ! Just two questions : 1/ in the guide picture, you're wiring the mcp3008 directly to the battery. Is it possible to connect from somewhere else ine the build ? From the powerstrip instead of the battery for example ? 2/ just for my info...

Does this work on every Raspbian based OS?

I guess so, but you may have to install some extra packages. I have only tested on retropie

Excellent

Very nice, thanks! Is it worth going from the 100/75/50/25 values to more detailed levels, or does the accuracy of the voltages not really make this feasible? I tried using 10% steps, but that was too unstable with my 2000mAh battery, with a bigger battery and/or another controller it might work be...

Hi all! I'we finally found some spare time to do a short rough guide on how to add a battery indicator on your GBZ with a MCP3008. This guide include the hardware installation of the MCP3008 chip, hardware/software part for using LEDS, software part for using videoclips for warnings and shutdown, an...

Sucessfully installed the pololu switch, so no the safe shutdown feature works perfect I have also worked a little bit on a guide for a battery icon, but I'm not done yet, maybe next weekend!

Thats not a bad idea

Im really interested in your battery monitor code and wiring! If you could share it it would be amazing! Thanks I will write a short guide soon, I just need to find some time :p meanwhile i can point you in the right direction here: https://github.com/aboudou/picheckvoltage/blob/master/README.md an...

Thought about it, but when gf/friends are playing on it and are done, they use the original switch
