I dint how many times i said the reason about bad grammar or bad spelling ,but i will try one more time i right very fast and dont spell check or fix grammar second we are not in school so we are not getting any grades for it ,so no need for me to fix it.

i see think you are picking on me,mostly part,mostly you say i and wrong in electronics which i know so much more then you and sensors,

you know alot more then me on software,so only that i see i am wrong,but on the post awhile back about the windows xp,i did test it and found it was faster and draw less current ,you cant say i was wrong.

i know you did very good tests on them and prove that i was wrong,but i dont think you use the same setup as mine,but i dont care ,i call it water under the bridge

pleasse in you posts dont add stuff like moving the grass or skydive and other stuff like that,its not about that its about the topic its about.

on the parts i guess some might need some more info about the parts ,i guess some are not great about electronics that i know,and may be more info is needed .

it so simple electronics ,and you should easy when when you ask me about the value of iiof the doide and info on it since you did tell me you have a degree like me ,you could very easy work the value and put in your circuit,it so simple. and i said you dont NEED MATH to work out the value too

i see you dont have a degree just not as i keep reading you posts and writing i thought you said you had a degree i guess i was wrong ok

most likely i wont talk about windows 7 anymore also

script maybe if i need help,so far not a problem

i since compass is hard will see about doing it sometime soon

first i will post my laser design and really explain it step by step in a few post posts to make it very clear and readable so everone can understand it

i am sorry also this topic has some info from both me and RICH ,but same in every post we both post about

RICH till you havent show me any things i am right about yet

also on bad spelling i see many others done bad spelling too,and they most likely dont write very fast like me and double check for errors

i think like you and may be most others never tested any home base finder designs like i have,

i done so many it not funny,been awhile like little over a year or 2 and found problems with them and some work great with a few changes i have done,so this is a major topic topic for me.

so hopping no more problems will come up on this post,just dont say i am wrong or i give bad advice,thats all i ask of you

if you dont agree most likely you never made it or tested it ,please keep it to your self i dont see anyone else say i am wrong or disagree with do you.

And you say my posts are un-readable,i done so many posts ,i never heard anyone but you say they cant read then not one,may be now ,some might say it i dont know

wow i did OVER 2400 posts

and if you see my email address up anywhere please do not send me a email please,i really dont want to really email,not meen or anything else

If you want to help me on scripts if i ever need it then fine,and wont be saying you are wrong or anything else.

most likely i dont need to reply unless i need another script or more how it works.

But so far scripts looks so easy most of them.

wont bring up about your most favorate operating system windows 7 too

Back on topic, another small script which may come in handy for those who wish to have a record of what happens during a charge, useful for testing or for monitoring purposes. It's not actually required for the self charging but it sure comes in handy, especially for those of us who like to log everything.

# EZ-Script
# Battery Charge Monitor
# Version: 1.0
# Author: Rich
# Script date: 2013-02-15
# 
# Details
# =====
#  EZ-Script to monitor the voltage of a battery via the ADC port of the EZB,
# and record the results.
#
# Notes
# =====
# Read voltage level of battery and log to file.
# Assumes only one battery requires monitoring.
# Assumes script for battery monitor is running, available at:-
# https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/2834&page=13
# 
# Set variables
# ==========
# Change $logfile to absolute path of log file
# Change $refreshrate for time between records in ms
$logfile = "C:\chargelog.txt"
$refreshrate = 10000

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
# -- Do not alter below this line unless you know what you are doing --
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------

:start
FileWriteLine("$logfile","$date $cell1")
sleep($refreshrate)
goto(start)

If you didn't want to have 2 scripts running this could be added in to the earlier script on Page 13 however, without a bit of extra code to restrict the amount of times it writes to the log file it would produce a large log file as the delay between reading the ADC port isn't very long.

Otherwise you could increase the sleep to a longer sleep to reduce the log file size but this would result in the battery level being refreshed less often. It doesn't hurt to have both scripts running.

I will work on incorporating both and reducing the log file size when I have a chance, it should only be a small modification and a simple IF loop with a counter to only run the FileWriteLine command every 10 seconds.

As I said at the start of the post, this can come in handy for when you are testing the charging of the battery, more so if you are charging with the EZB powered. It'll also give a good insight in to how long the battery charging process will take.

The log file looks a little like this one (without the second cell or total battery voltage as this script is for one battery, the log file is from my project which has 2 cells monitored).

It also shows how well the balance charger works and how well the voltage divider and script work to calculate the voltage of cell 2.

If you must be told, Fred, your posts are extremely hard to decipher sometimes. I don't want to rant on specifics as that would make it personal. I would like to say that your explanation for bad spelling and grammar is that you type very fast is not acceptable to me. It says that you believe the rest of us aren't worthy of the extra time (i.e. seconds) it takes to slow down and type then re-read posts. I have to confess that I have to skip over your posts find relevant (and legible) information that weren't about only you. We all make spelling and grammar mistakes from time to time but I'm not sure why you think the rest of us are doing it on the magnatude you are. I visit the site FAR less than I use to because these posts. I'd like to add that I will no longer be visiting this thread. DJ can delete this post if he wishes but someone has to set the record straight.

I think some might be hard to read ,but not all of them.

And some i write fast because of RICH too.

Writing a little slower now and fixing some of it.

But i do write fast ,your not at my computer so you cant tell.

I dont think DJ should remove this topic it has good info,and would take a long time to put everything back.

Even at work i do very little writing,and same time i hate writing too.

This forum is first forum i had to write lot in a long tme.

Now do you see any bad grammar or spelling with this post,i took my time.

OK, one last acknowledgement... Because my long, well thought out post was wasted on you.

If you hate writing why are you on a forum? It's a rhetorical question, I don't really care for an answer, especially not here. You cannot blame your fast and sloppy typing on me, I've only been on here 3 or 4 months, your posts have always been bad. I've also been pretty much the only person so far to have asked you to slow down and be clearer. Useless posts from this topic should be gone. This is not good for the community or for ez-robots. This is only here because I don't have your email address.

And finally I guess you missed the part where I said to email me directly or email ez-robots if you are still having an issue rather than add even more crap nobody cares about to this topic

End of. Don't reply to me, I wont respond on here again unless it's related to the topic. If you want to reply to me email me. rich@richpyke.net

Don't reply, email me or drop it. Can I make this any clearer?! I will not respond to you on here again and I urge everyone else not to either.

Also some say i have bad grammar or spelling,

But they dont say anything about RICH'S meenless posts like about moving grass comment and skydive ,and another about ripping my head off on another post and more.

I dont see how they have anything to do with robots,thiose type of comment should kept to him self.

IT also takes away from what the post is about,if he is mad at someone he should keep it to his self.
