Damn it.. looks like we've got to move again..
The rent and the power bills are getting to be a bit to big for us.
But at the least, it looks like I've managed to sort out a new place to live. More on that later on.
I've gotten my hands on some more IC's, MCU's and some misc other things.
I want to use one of the MCU's (a ATtiny25) to collect temperature data from a thermistor and send it via a RF-link to either a PC or to another MCU to be able to make some graphs and statistics out of it :)
Possibly I'll try to get my fingers on a few other sensors like humidity, wind speed and rainfall sensors to and get it all hocked up.
Wee, my very own weather station here at home :P
I've got the Nokia 3310 LCD thermometer project working (more or less) but I've got some problems with the menu. So it's on ice for now.
The LCD itself is something I'd like to have modular, so I might get around to giving it a set of pin's instead of the direct wiring it's got atm.
I'm still fighting to understand how you do an analog read on the ATtiny25, so it might take some time before the temperature sensor is up and running :(
Anyway, that's it for now.
