Re: The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug

Furthermore it seems like there's a lot of code with the linker fix that's still being affected. I'm starting to think we need a processor rollback, with maybe memory extensions (I'm not sure if the PIC supports external Flash/SRAM latches though) to compensate.
