Boy got his flight… lucky bastard!

Here’s one I created for thermal testing on Billy’s product. This will simultaneously grab the temperature (via thermocouples) from 8 different points and feed them back through a serial connection. It also has the capability (if the EEPROM is installed) to store these values if a PC is unavailable.

It works well. I haven’t been able to test across the useful range of the thermocouple (0-1024 C) because I have no way to generate that type of heat. The temperatue inside my pants only reaches 900 C.

This last weekend was the first weekend since I’ve been in California that I was able to work on a personal project. What a weekend! Nothing went wrong… that doesn’t happen often. I populated the RF Hack board that I made several months back. I also wrote a bit of code to enable the board to do it’s thing. Basically the board works off of one button (which is why the other is not populated). Press it once and it iterates upwards through the 1024 possibilities. Press it again and it pauses.

I made a little VIDEO.

So, the big question is… does it work? Answer is… I don’t know and I will not know until I can return to San Diego.
