The LiPo pack will need a voltage monitor attached to a kill switch on the firing loop.

This ensures the battery stays within a safe operating voltage to prevent it from being damaged.

This will need a JST-XH connector and a 5V to 3.3V logic level converter as the LiPo pack has a 4.2V output at full charge from the battery balance connector.

This would be nice if the BLEBas service can be added within the BluetoothController setup in #42 to display battery levels remotely.

The above ADS1115 product was selected for identifying the battery levels.

A new battery monitor service needs to be added so the notifications from the battery and the ADS1115 can be transmitted to the BluetoothController and exposed by the BLEBas service.
