That's awesome! I have not owned a Palm for almost a decade, after I swtiched
to pocket PC's, but I would definitely pick one or two up cheap on eBay to run
this program. It beats the heck out of trying to strap a laptop on the bike.
One more parameter which is very important to me and should be something you
can calculate is amp hours used. How much would it take for you to sample the
current on a timed interval and do the math to estimate amp hours out of the
battery? Since you are reading this from the controller I would need to be
able to reset it after charging.
