<ul>
	<li>Happy with the two A/D Converters. Got *all* channels running</li>
	<li>Made a simple breakout board to be able to access all the pins easier</li>
	<li>16 pin IDC cable is holding up to 450V seemingly ok - real test will be with all signals</li>
	<li>Resistor measurement was adjusted slightly</li>
	<li>Checked against 4 multimeter and getting values “in range”</li>

<ul>
	<li>Next steps

<ul>
	<li>Finish a first version of the arduino code</li>
