I finally got my TS-BAT3 doing what i wanted (almost)

For some reason I had problems with the IRQ i'd used originally, swapped it, 
then today spent a 
while wondering why it wasn't working, so swapped it back and it worked off the 
bat, it'll say can't 
communicate with AVR, the wrong tsuart-bat3.o will give an /dev/tty* error, EA 
have removed the old 
ones from the ftp site it seems.

all i wanted was the system to power on automatically, then power off after 60 
seconds of power 
loss, pretty easy it turns out.

add ups-monitor to the /etc/init.d folder
add
bat3 --shutdown 60 --charge 400 &
to the startup scripts, it'll powerdown gracefully after 60 seconds.
then make sure tsuart.o tsuart-bat3.o are loaded.

and thats it, for some reason i could never find that part of the docs earlier 
so i'll post notes 
here, oh and the --help parameter doesn't work if it doesn't find the hardware.

my only issue is now sometimes bat3 drops out on the AVRsend with a timeout, i 
increased the timeout 
to try 50 times, (though i should have tried a sleep, but still drops out, for 
now i just cheated 
and used a shell script with a infinite while, it works for now.

i wish JP3 was somewhere else though, i ended up soldering a spst to it 
remotely, especially since i 
have my TS-CAN1 above it.

and while i'm wishing, i might as well as wish for the TS 73xx enclosure lid to 
be about 5mm taller 
so i can fit two PC104s in at the same time
