Can you add a battery indicator to th build for the M5stick? I see there are a few other projects on github which might work

Hi Chris. I suppose we could but given the limited screen real estate it didn't seem particularly useful as I would think it would almost always be plugged in. What's your use case there where you think that would come into play?

the USB port on the decent is effectively useless and I don't want to tie up another outlet — i'd rather leave the stick in the drawer under the machine and just use it to sync and occasionally charge

The battery on the M5Stick is super tiny, I think it would only last like 30 minutes or something on. Why do you feel the USB port on the Decent is useless? It worked really well as a way of charging the M5Stick when that was my daily driver.
