Because of question from users I have to clarify a little bit ...
Entire Q6 solution was a bit "fictious" in the original Chance PI. It did not work properly in fact
did nothing usefull instead of additional and unwanted 100mA power drain
So I do not drive Q6 in the 2nd Chance and I have changed the way of coil driving.
For instance the original Q6 solution drains 180mA but my solution drains 80mA.
Is there any difference?
Like I said Q6 solution was not succesfull
Should not be difference if Q6 circuit is placed or removed from PCB when using my software.
In my software Q6 is driven as inactive whole time. The ICL7660 / LT1054
is enabled whole time also.
So, simplifying, my release should be backward compatible. I do not test it at all.
For purity reasons I have removed Q6 circuit from my pcb completly and new schematic diagram and pcb.
By the way, a few things good to know about 2nd Chance PI:
- OK button pressed whilst starting restores default settings
- Menu button pressed whilst starting direcly into menu without battery test.
It can be usefull when you set battery U min level higher than voltage battery you have.
Normally you will see "low battery". So use this method.
- Default settings are proper in my case. Everyone should test the device and enter own settings
