[chbot] CHCH Robotics Group, meeting notes Mon 18 Sept 2017

[Andrew Errington]

Thanks Mark.  Anyone who is interested in the original battery manager
project (BattMan II) can read all about it here:
http://www.stefanv.com/electronics/battman2.html

The original software was written using Borland C++ Builder, which I have
ported to Python with a TKinter GUI.  You can get the project files on
GitHub:

Thanks everyone.

Andrew
