Getting very close to releasing this battery monitor solution. So far it seems to work great on my setup. Battery reads well and on demand shutdown button along with videos wok well. As a bonus was able to improve the hex gamepad code while I was at it to be better responsive and also can now scroll and select in dos menus :D

Just doing some final testing now.

It's coming along! we're working on or rather Hoolyhoo is working on the Analog Stick code with battery monitor and I'll be testing it with the good old cheap Banggood PSU so us commoners can afford all the bells and whistles too. ;)

It can work on all my AIO boards it's that you will have to solder a wire from the battery + to one of the atmega32u4 legs. On the newer boards I broke the pin to some test pads for this feature so it's alot easier to solder to than the chip legs.

Or if your not using the analog stick that are on a lot of older boards you can attach it to the the analog pad which is easier to solder.

@HoolyHoo I am very happy that you have been able to show battery status on display. I look forward to attaching the code to insert. With the occasion, I would also like to thank @Helder for the AIO 2.2A. Wonderful!!!
