I have ordered this ARM board to build a EFI system around, written in ARM
   compiled
   BASIC.

   It should be here in a few days DHL.

   We shall see how it goes.

   I should have something running in about a week.

 Paul,

 Could you give us the info on this board so we could consider buying one
 also.

 I am thinking of some developments to our robotics products.

 Here is the ARM board. It has infinite expansion potential.

 I am working on two systems. I am working on a parallel approach as well with
 a real simple and old CPU (8051 not a C8051) controlling mostly hardware.

 If you are interested in the simple system let me know. It will very limited but it
 is quicker to build and program I hope. I will be testing some of the hardware in a
 few days. I'll know then if it is going to work.

Hey Paul,

I was thinking about leaning on the way home tonight.  How about this.

Put a rheostat/pot in the cockpit that adjusts a simple voltage divider
so that the output can be varied across some arbitrary range.

Connect said output to the A side of an A/D.

Read the knob position from the D side of the A/D and use that as the
multiplier for the pulse width generator.

You wouldn't even have to use a high fidelity A/D.  Eight bits would be
overkill for our purposes.  Set the knob in the center and use that as
the base.  Higher is richer, lower is leaner.

That is what I planned.
