What would be involved in:
- Powering the LoMa with 7V LiFe
- Triggering the alarm at something like <=6.3V (in addition to PWM)
- Implementing some sort of hysteresis to the voltage trigger (not essential)

TIA!

Just use a LDO VReg IC to provide 5V to the LoMA and its microcontroller.

- Triggering the alarm at something like <=6.3V (in addition to PWM)
- Implementing some sort of hysteresis to the voltage trigger (not essential)

This part will be up to you since I don't have any tips to offer.

Thanks RC-Cam. Is the source code for this available that I could use as a starting point?
