Hello,
A colleague of me was kind enough to build that MintyBoost for me. And
it is working fine. I'm attaching a screen shoot of it using
'battery.py'; some questions remain:
- sometimes you can hear in the MintyBoost box (not in the FR) some kind
of buzzing, is this normal?
- sometimes the chip and the electromagnetic coil get very hot,
sometimes only warm, anything to worry about?
- if the FR battery gets charged by the MintyBoost, the MintyBoost at
the same time has also to provide the energy for the running FR, correct?
Thx
matthias

Q: What's the difference between an iphone and a freerunner?
A: One works but takes away your freedom, the other is free but needs your work.
