Ether == Awesome - any chance you'll part with the source so I can compile a Linux version?

TIA

It would be good to have a Linux version.

I'll pull out the formulas and post them.

Give me a couple of days.

If it was a windows console app, it will probably just compile and run quickly with minor changes. You can send the source if you want.

I'm a busy guy - no time soon to re-write the program, not with work for 3 customers in process and being in the middle of build season. I apologize if I was not clear. I was offering to take your source and re-compile to create a Linux executable. No disrespect intended but I don't need the formulas ;o). I'm an EE and have been designing opto-mechatronic embedded control systems for 30 years - I know the formulas.

Thanks anyways.

Of course. I thought you were after some of the more arcane calculations, like solving for operating range given operating volts and desired minimum efficiency*. I've never seen that published anywhere.

Anyway, unless you have an old copy of Kylix the source wouldn't serve the purpose intended.

Oh well, the equations are out there for anyone who might be interested.

*it's not as useful as other calculations, I know, but I included it because it's interesting to play around with and may provide some insight

Well, it just so happens that I do ... BTW, FIRST Team 1296 very much appreciates all the great advice you regularly disperse on CD!
