Default RE: CDI gr8flyer55

I'm still working on my engine. Waiting on a M8 drill and tap to do the shaft. I'm also trying to get things set up so I can first test the stock setup, then see how well the CDI performs. Shouldn't be too long though.

Gompy's power booster switch should be easy to do.

I've given up on making the spreadsheet generate the hex, for now. I got everything working well, but I just can't figure out how to generate the checksum in excel. It will probably need to be done with a VBA macro. But I spent way too long trying to figure it out and I'm kinda sick of trying to work it out.

What I need to do is add all the hex digit pairs between the ":" and the last two checksum digits, then invert that answer and add one to it. It's just a basic programming exercise, but I can't figure out how to do it in excel. If anyone can figure it out then generating the Intel hex file will be easy.

I've moved all the settings into the table and fixed the memory locations of the tables, so changing the values in the hex is easy. Generating the checksum sounds easy also, but I just can't get it to work.
