Melanie,

I was re-reading the thred and realized that I missed your post re: low-value resistors. UGH is right. Of course you want high-value. Electronics is not my day job : )

The actual application for this is for use with Lithium-Polymer batteries in R/C aircraft. Apparently Li-Po cells can be damaged if they're drawn below 3 volts, so the trick is to monitor their voltage in real-time so you know where you're at. Most electronic speed controls now contain a cutoff circuit that kills the motor when the battery goes below 3v per cell, but depending on your plane and what you're doing when the motor cuts off, this may not be a good thing. With mine I'll be able to see the trend in voltage - perhaps even chart it using a bar graph on the LCD along with an estimation of time left before 3v. I might even add some beeps to make it really fancy

Thanks for your patience with me, and thanks greatly for your time. I do understand how valuable it is.
