No problem, wasn't much work.

Well, MAX6650 knows 4 modes, we know 3, so there's always one mode the MAX6650 
could be in that we have to map to one of our known modes. In that case I 
map "full off" to "open loop" and set the output to zero (dac=255).

Sounds dangerous. But I trust you :-)

Already noticed that, but didn't know the explanation. Fixed.

I know, I know. IMHO, with the curly brace placed correctly, it looks ugly. 
But for the sake of coding style, I fixed it. I hoped you wouldn't notice ;-)

OK, I missed that one.

Well, I really appreciate good code quality. If this is the price, I'm willing 
to pay it. Actually, I thank you for helping me so much.

Yes, but not so soon, sorry. I'm not at home the whole next week and will not 
have any sensors hardware available. After that, I might find some time to 
have a look. I have an LM93 driver almost ready, so that'll be the next thing 
I'll keep you busy with :-) In the course of that development I can have a 
short look at user space stuff, too.

Thanks,

Hans
