RE: Shutter timing

I hear what you are saying Tom, but I am really not suggesting major
hardware changes. It could be as simple as replacing one of your existing
temperature sensors with the dual purpose chip. Not having a schematic, this
may be a lot harder than it sounds, but it should not be anything like the
major problems that you have already had to deal with.

I agree - Chris should be able to sort it out pretty quickly and come up
with the optimal solution

David,

I think that you are working in the wrong parameter space.  There is a 
present set of hardware that exists.  There is no indication yet that the 
problems cannot be solved in a variety of ways without adding to the 
hardware.  The time for hardware additions went by about two years ago.  I 
did put up a lot of stuff about the design, and asked for suggestions at 
that time.  OK, I mostly just ramrodded a solution through.  But I did 
listen to all that responded.

I think we are far from failing to have a good solution.  The first step is 
to make the serial link work better.  This could be good enough.  It is 
really the problem that I do not have good ability to write the kind of 
code that needs to be written.

I suspect it will ba a snap for Chris, though we will all hear a few choice 
swear words before everything is done.   If we had only done ...
