Remember that ARMini uses so little power, that being "on" isn't really a big deal. You probably use more electricity with lighting the room it is in! 2.7v is plenty to do its job, but if you can ease it up to 3v, you'll have longer "down time" for when it is off :) Andrew -- R-Comp 22 Robert Moffat, High Legh, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 6PS Tel: 01925 755043 Fax: 01925 757377 http://www.rcomp.co.uk --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/armini-support List-related queries to support@xxxxxxxxxxxx
