We will need SEM/EDS to better characterize what is happening with the BG plates and particularly the floating plates after break in. While transmutation is important, I want to understand molecular formation at and in the vicinity of the plates. I expect to see a self organized topology that could be revealing on differences in various HHO configurations and efficiencies.
May be worth acquiring the spare panel, thanks for finding that.
Here are the photos David W. Davis sent me.

If any of you want to have access to the live document to add details of components or edit it in other areas, please make a request.
Also, I can provide a common server space for people to exchange files easily, let me know if you are interested.
My guess is that the program control loop runs on polling for most of the external resources, due to non critical timings, and perhaps employs the external interrupt for the ADC only. If we can get the schematic we can figure out the peripheral addresses and so link the code to its activity and purpose. Without the schematic this task is quite hard, IMO.

Ok. So speculation just slows us down until we can get a good schematic down. Current is key measure, you have to have the overall picture before understanding and interpreting the details.
going into the ADC going to the microprocessor as
8 bit(?) resolution. What can output be? A control
signal to the DC electrolyzer? DA conversion can
be constructed very simple, no need for a chip.
The ADC is an 8-channel ADC. I know that the panel board gets the current (voltage across a shunt) and voltage signals from the heavy current electrolyzer. However, they are both directly displayed by a meter chip tied to the panel displays. So far, just the current signal (conditioned by op-amps) goes to the ADC. The voltage signal seems to be ignored.
There is and ADC on the board.
I have now powered up the system and get some activity, but except for reset, do not see any response to pushbuttons on the panel.
Well, people were only directed here last night.
I will ask the systems engineer to communicate here. Files can be uploaded here as needed.
Saw mention of only a single interrupt.
This indicates to me the developer established his own external interrupt architecture. There will be some logic to capture which event occurred and some value associated with it.
When the circuit is chased down to some level of a schematic, let me know if you need help deciphering the logic. I designed a number of systems using TTL logic back in that era.
