How to improve my battery measurement circuit?

increase the resistors by a factor of 100 or so and add a very small cap across the lower one. The cap inside the ADC is absolutely tiny, pF at best. So a 100nF cap would easily do the trick and supply the voltage as required.

PSA - Be very wary of using Metropolitan (Plumbing|Electrical|Air Conditioning) or any of the other 150+ company names they have

Interesting. I decided to look at reviews the usual way if I was going to use one of the company’s. Chose “mr emergency” and pretty much 4.6 out of 5 from just the google search. Drilled down to product review and it looks pretty good, too good, suspiciously good in fact.

Check on the “people” giving these reviews and they all have a single review and every one reads like it was professionally written. AI perhaps ?
Go to the 1 star reviews and suddenly it’s a different picture.

Good lesson, thanks for the heads up.

Anybody made any plans for the upcoming airshow ? As a motorcyclist I am intending to ride down each day but I think this might end up a lot bigger than most events we get here. My (very old) parents are thinking of renting an apartment for a few days, I might crash on the floor :)

Damn, I was only thinking last night how I wanted a Polly Waffle. Guess I'll add fantales to the list. Nearly bought some in Coles last week as they were half price.
I'm out in the hinterland and pretty sure the police chopper just scanned every house in the area. They were interested in me cause I was out with a bonfire. Havent gone more than a few miles in 30 minutes.
I guess I'll start with a view. Took this on Friday on the way to Robina for sushi. I live out in the hinterland so its only a slight detour up The Panorama on me old triumph.
