Well, that's good. Glad you got it sorted out. Battery steps are in 25% increments. So right now you are showing 75%. When its gets to 25%, battery indicator will go yellow and low battery warning video will play once. If you don't recharge and its gets to the last step in battery meter, then shutdown video will play and auto shutdown will begin. ;)

How hard would this be to port over to use on a teensey or audrino Leonardo. Hard even though they're still atmega32u4 based?
Not hard at all and not much different. Make sure to use same pin out.
So if i load your hex files to a teensey LC, they will work without modification? Sorry, I'm really new to this.

looks like on the teensey, I need pins 10 (CS or any pin I read) , 11(MOSI), 12(MISO), and 13(SCK) for the usbasp. ADC0 is just Analog pin 0 right (pin 14)?

and lastly, is there a way I can tell which pins helder used as to which pins I need to use on the teensey to make sure Im using the correct pins for control input?

Thanks for your help HH :)

The pinouts would need to be adjusted on the hex file. These are the pinouts Helder uses on his board.

And this is the pinout of a Leonardo pro micro

As you can see the there is no 11, 12, or 13 on the micro broken out. So that would need to be adjusted as well as ADC0 for the battery monitoring. I test on the Leonardo all the time. It's not an issue. Just adjust as necessary.

Hi there! one question:
Does the battery icon remain at the top of the screen all the time? Can you hide it?
Thanks!

Yes, on all the time but can be coded to turn off. Wouldn't be too hard if you are using the shutdown button to serve dual purpose.

Thanks for your reply!

You say it is possible to do it with the original GB switch? I'm in Argentina and I'm having a hard time finding a dpdt swith that is small enough.

Yes. The original GB switch will work With the adafruit powerboost but not with the banggood edition.

Is there a way to do this without having the AIO board? Could I just use a adruino pro mini to read the battery voltage?

Yes it's possible as long as you have an analog pin available from the arduino ic.

Ok I was looking at the code and what needs to happen on the arduino side? Just send the battery voltage over serial when the pi requests data?

You got it. Uses pin A5 on the atmega32u4.
