Re: A89: Check sum problem Really need help
Well, that is my point. You never know how low your batteries are until the "BATT" message is
displayed on the status bar. Instead of the "BATT" message when the batteries get low, I would like
an assembly program that replaces taht message with a battery level meter like:
111111111111111110000000
111110001101101010000000
111111101010111010000000 (1s are pixel on, 0s are pixel off)
111111011010110110000000
111110111010101110000000
111110111101101010000000
111111111111111110000000
111111111111111110000000
instead of:
111100011100111110111110
100010100010001000001000
100010100010001000001000
111110111110001000001000
100010100010001000001000
100010100010001000001000
111110100010001000001000
000000000000000000000000
Where you would know that you have approximately 70% battery power left. This is just an example.
I'm sure that a better meter could be made.
