[volt-nuts] 7061 On Board Clock and Battery

[Fabio Eboli]

Interesting, these roms are mine's:

I have also a problem with statistics,
seem that the standard deviation calculation is
wrong:

If you have time to test yours for this I would be grateful.

Another thing is that on mine SP1 and SP2 on floating board are both
open circuit.
