Warn user controller battery low!

Publicano commented 4 months ago

Read the battery status of the Android controller and alert the user if the battery is running low. This prevents an uncontrollable drone due to an empty controller.

Tell us a bit about the feature:

What problem does it solve? It ensures that the user does not start piloting his drone when his controller is running low.
What does it do? it reads the android battery status API and alerts the user when the controller is low.
What flight stacks must it work with? (All, PX4, ArduPilot) All
Are there other systems that have this feature? the Qgroundcontroll app has a feature to alert the user when the drone battery is low
What communication/integration standards does the feature rely on (e.g. MAVLink commands etc.) read API
