Too much information in a small area.
Placement of Ah and Wh has logical relation to placement of A, W and T. Just random.
Irrelevant information (temperature).
Seriously ugly font.
Typical UI designed by a software engineer.

A number of the responses on this thread remind me of why I rarely open source revenue earning projects.

o You end up having your entire project designed and redesigned by an unappointed committee of big mouths of indeterminant provenance.

o People who profess to have no interest can’t help being self-appointed project managers.

o You waste valuable time second guessing your own judgement on every minutiae of your project.

o You lose focus during the design and manufacturing cycle going off on unnecessary tangents.

o Of course, a good dose of opinionated time wasting of what is - and is not - open source is unlikely to get a product to market any quicker, quite the opposite in fact.

This is all hugely unproductive and time wasting.

Remember, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

If you don’t like the way someone else’s project is going, and are not a stakeholder, but you feel the need to try to make a fundamental design change from afar to fulfill your own utopian agenda, then you should reconsider and instead invest your effort more productively on your own designs.

Be careful what you wish for, because these kinds of distractions take away from the open source community, and they certainly don’t encourage it or show it in a good light.

Apart from open-source ramblings, I feel like the proposed design change is for the better. Whether Dave ends up using any of this is up to him, of course, but I'd say this thread was productive.

I agree with the concept around redesigning the display layout, after all that is the point of the OP, it’s all the other nonsense about whether or not it constitutes open source, that adds no value, it’s divisive and a net complete waste of everyone’s time.

Why is it nonsense.? I have one opinion, and you don't share it.  Fair enough, but it doesn't make it nonsense.  In terms of your complete waste of time, no one asked you to express your disagreement.  It took you a couple seconds to read, and you decided to waste your own time to comment your disapproval.   You don't have to go on record, if you don't agree with everything.

Just for the record, I want to see Dave do it.  I and many others will learn loads.  But I don't think it invalidates my opinion.
