CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@anthropy @smallsolar the only issue I see, from purely a generation point of view, the plants cast shade on the panels, thus reducing the amount of power they generate.
But I like the whole look of it so who cares about the lost Watts

@bytex64 @philcowans @gloriouscow right, doing this on my phone, so rather suboptimal conditions. I might have to wait until my morning for a full analysis, but the XOR output being indirectly involved in the 14MHz clock output, among other things, points me to some clock generator optimisation at startup. Possibly allowing the crystal to "wake up" faster as @bytex64 hinted at.
Lemme sleep on that

@bytex64 @philcowans @gloriouscow I've tried finding the schematics to figure it out properly, but I haven't found those yet. Maybe someone could post a link to them here and we can all be better informed?

@philcowans @gloriouscow in the absence of a more complete schematic, it's fairly difficult to say what exactly it's for. Based on past high volume designs, a reset pulse is a reasonable assumption. Now, if it's connected to a crystal, I'd have to see the rest of the circuit to say what it actually does.
But a pulse at power on is what this setup generates.

@gloriouscow power on reset. The 10k combined with the input's capacitance, forms a small delay, guaranteeing a pulse at power on.
