Description

In my experience with the Panda Touch, it has been quite smooth so far, but the one thing I would like to be added is a battery indicator. I feel like the current system of seeing whether the screen is flickering is just a very guesswork-involved system, and a proper battery indicator would be a major improvement. One way I think this could be implemented is a software thing which detects the voltage being fed to the MCU.
Hope this gets implemented soon!
