Propeller Powered Power Supply

I'm almost done coding the Propeller, which I will use in the power supply I'm making. The Propeller will measure and display voltage (using voltage synthesis via a counter module, and a comparator), measure and display current (using a shunt), and the Prop will control the soft-start circuitry. I will have around 4 open cogs and 6 I/Os left, so what should I do with the extra processing power?

    You don't have to do anything with them. They don't take any significant amount of power when they're not used. You could always add a video display that plots voltage and/or current over time, controlled by a PS/2 keyboard. That's two or three cogs and 6 I/O pins of functionality.
