Describe the bug The schematic on here is inaccurate as it references an amplifier but it is a power charging circuit

Do you know why we need a second switch? what is the reason if the echo has one. ?

Good question. We added the switch to reliably turn on and off the unit when connected to battery, I didn't realize that the echo has a switch. The switch is wired to the charging board and not the device, does that matter? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, if we don't need another switch then I don't see why we should have it.

Also, PR #183 fixes the schematic.

I'm new here and also I'm new with the M5Echo, but I know about the some M5 devices, and is possible that with the builtin button we can do that, and maybe is enough, for example if we using a board like this for handled the power and suspend of the device:

because the communication with the board is via I2C and we could go to deep-sleep via software, for instance a long press with the echo button, and then do a wake-up with this extra button of this StampTimerPower. Well, I need test that, but I think that is possible.

That's an interesting idea. Get rid of the switch altogether, and just triple click the button to power on or off. Then we would only need the one button, right? No need for two buttons or a switch. Turn on and off with the primary button

Yes, but keep in mind that sometimes you need different levels of "power-off", light-sleep and deep-sleep on the M5Echo are ok, but for deep-sleep via the RTC board (the best option for ultra low power consumption), you would need a wakeup it via its button (the button in this module)

I suppose this issue is now fixed @tyfiero thanks 🚀

I was plannign to raise a PR today :)

as per BOM there is an amplifier, would you consider adding the amplifier as optional on the diagram ?
