For those of you interested in the status of the over-voltage relay for
the CJ6A generator, here is what Bob says:

BTW, if you are wondering why there is software involved, it turned out
to be simpler to implement the OV relay module using a microcomputer
because of the built-in sequencing, testing, and warning light
functions. It just required fewer parts this way and it allowed the unit
to be "tweaked" without having to change the parts on the board.
