In this release:
Fixed problems with startup when running on Pi Zero 2 W. Pi Zero 2 W has a very large startup current surge. On older versions, this triggers the low battery auto shutdown if the battery isn't fully charged. Now, should still startup if battery isn't fully changed. Code automatically detects the Pi Zero 2 W hardware so no changes if running on any other hardware.
all v1.1 changed to v1.2
added v1.2 hardware documentation
Tested on hardware: Pi Zero 2 W, Pi Zero W, Pi Zero, Pi 3B+, Pi 3B, and Pi 4B
