Hi.

The extension is now updated to include current setting as well.
Link to new version; http://bit.ly/1dvSQO7

My spare board which had firmware 2.0.1 reported too low voltage, works ok after upgrading to 2.1.5.
The reported voltage is still dependent on the current-potmeter setting, is this due to a bug in the firmware – using the incorrect reference voltage for the DA converter? Would be nice if the source code for the EBB board was open-source. ;-)
( Edit; the source IS open – YIPPIE !!, found it here; http://bit.ly/1l7M0OG :-) )

The EBB reports current setting = 0 for the first 10-15 degrees of rotation of the pot from fully counter-clockwise (min current) position, the extension will now “catch” this.

Please report errors and bugs.
