I have spent a few hours here and there in the past few weeks getting EV1Dash updated to run on the latest free Palm OS Developer Suite (PDS). I have succeeded in getting it fully working w/ PDS, and this makes a decent spring board for extending the code for future use. I hav...

Frank, At one point when I had a bad module, I was able to fit 2 optima batteries into the same space as 2 of the S10 modules. I had to saw off the posts on top (and flow lead on top of them), you could replace all but two this way and then build a box to hold the two (the one...

Hi, The palm model is any M500 series. The model I typically provided in the past is the M515 color. The EV1 app is specific to this older palm series, as Peter has modified the RS-232 comm port to operate as a PWM receiver for the class2 data stream. The port reconfiguration...

A normal 120 volt AC outlet is fused (by a circuit breaker) at 15 amps on the "hot" wire. 15 amps times 120 volts is 1800 watts, or 1.8 KW. Combining two 120 volt outlets that are on opposite phases would give you 15 amps at 240 volts. 15 times 240 is 3600 watts, or 3.6 KW. Wh...
