Did you use the code from the site I posted or did you write your own?
Very nice, should be able to come up with something really cool using that.I'm also programming my project right now, though I'm using assembly. C is actually easier and faster, but there are still some of us old assembly die hards out there.
Thanks Dave,The board sits on top of this 2200mAh 20C LiPo. The cell tabs bend around and solder to the board on the left next to the USB charging connector. Unlike Arduino, programming for the 16 bit PIC I'm using is done though a 5 pin header and a PICkit2 programmer/debugger. Hard to make out in the photo, but the programming header is right under the red clip. My photos suck because my camera is on the fritz and I still haven't replaced it.The extra chips on there are things like small signal mosfets to isolate controls from the MCU and voltage detectors for safety features. It senses a lot of different stuff for safety features like over-discharge protection, over-current protection and atomizer short-circuit. It also has charging onboard with a full suite of safety features like battery temperature sensing and transient voltage suppression. I tried to keep the parts list to a minumum, but the component counts always grow fast when you start adding features, and I have just about every feature I can think of.I use the boost circuit that I emailed to you in that schematic before. It can put out 30W. Let me see if I can get a photo of it at max output. It's tricky to photograph because my home-made load bank overheats at that output so I can't leave it on too long, though the booster itself can output 30W continuous without getting too hot. I call it my Powerblock. Of course my wife calls it the "stop going to bed so late e-cig".Okay here we go.
Hey Dave,How's it going with this, making any progress?
Ah, the joys of software bugs with embedded systems. I can't tell you how many times I've run into issues with something like that. A lot of times, I think to myself, "there's no way I'm ever going to figure out the problem, " but I haven't been permanently stumped yet. A person can usually figure out anything given enough time and determination.

To read an output voltage from the 08100w with a micro-controller such as the Arduino, can I just send it to any analog input pin?
Being it's the first test run w/ charging I cut a piece of my Welding Blanket (fire blanket) and covered the batteries with it and a Halon Auto Fire Extinguisher placed over. I know.. I'm paranoid after the near explosion the other day w/ an Ultrafire.
