RE: Lippert Cool Road Runner II, power consumption?

Yeah, I know.  I'm sorry for the delay.  I swear I'll do it this week.  Mine is completely apart.  EVERYTHING!  IMO, it works much
better as a monocular eyepiece.  I will attempt to attach it to a pair of safety glasses this week as well.  I've been having
problems with my MOPS-LCD6 demo unit for the INS, so that has taken precedent.
I plan to check out the Cool Runner II myself.  It looks too good to be true to have an all in 1 with lower power consumption.
Has anyone checked out the EMJ selection of power management PC104's?  We build our own for the demo's, but I'm looking for
something pre-built that will give me the battery status (how much charge is left and so on).

Yes, someone has  :)

Zach has also taken his apart and we are all waiting on the info he came
up with.  Right now my cyvisor is very useful as a monocular and I hate to
mess with it, but I am exploring options for the optics to make a covert
display out of it.

At this point, unless you are stealing the kopin displays out of something
else, like an M1, it seems kind of pointless to be going with a
quarter-vga display.  With cy-visors available at under 800 dollars and
the eshades supposedly right around the corner, high-res is here, and it's
here now.  When one of us on this list finally takes that last little step
and gets a covert packaging from a cy or eshades, I will consider it to be
a major plateau that we've all been reaching for for a long time now.
