It is still be necessary to ensure the values are within the range of

Yes, nice aren't they? I would not use Arduino where power was
critical. I had assumed that since a server was involved, one more
device wouldn't stretch the power budget that far, especially given
the benefit that voltage monitoring brings.
Oh yes, we will have a fitPC2 and a dreamplug
Keep it simple is probably the best…
I've got an Arduino Diecimila, which is quite big for our purpose, I
also have a PIC32 Pinguino board, which is really great but too much
powerful…
Xavier, we could make a really tiny board, or buy one, with a small
microcontroller (Microchip is best for USB

Dear XS developers,
As we plan to install and deploy a fitPC2 as a School Server in our
NosyKomba deployment in Madgascar for OLPC France, we plan to powered
it with the 12 VDC power-rail (powered by solar panel + battery +
regulator).
=As we did it with another XS installed but powered by 220VAC
I understand the requirement. There are two approaches.
One measures voltage, and when it goes below a threshold begins
shutdown, and when it goes below a final threshold it disconnects the
load.
The second approach is a charge controller, which estimates the
capacity of the battery bank by
