Wow, that looks really nice. I like how neat everything is on the inside.

I'm wondering, would it be possible to make the Power button turn red when the battery is low, e.g have 2 LEDs and use the powerboost to change which LED is on based on the battery?

Looks great so far! Is that just black hot glue or did you use something else?

Yes just simply extend the led's from the power boost board, (going to do this on my GB2 coming up soon...shhh)

Just black hotglue sticks instead of clear ones. (much better imo

I wasn't aware you could get any colour other than clear, until now. I might invest in some white sticks.

Would you, if you have time, explain how exactly you create those little solder holes, you created yourself?
Do you just drill a hole, fill it with solder and drill again?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Not sure what you mean by solder holes, can you tag a pic as an example :?:

Hi, oh i am sorry. Sure thing, here:

It looks like you drilled a hole and covered it with solder.
Like the pins/holes on the teensy, for example. Or were they already there on your PCB?
Since i did not have that holes in those places on my original board, i thought they were made by you.
