[ATM] Temperature sensing
For those who are interested in checking or monitoring the temperature
at several points in their scopes to see just how effective their cool
down modifications are working, I have come across the following.
A simple PIC microcontroller which will read up to 64 digital temp
sensors with a resolution of 0.5 degrees C. It uses the Dallas
Semiconductor sensors and is very simple to build. It outputs the data
on an RS-232 line to your PC. The data can then be read or analysed with
software from the designer. And it is all free.
Have a look at http://www.anotherurl.com/temp
For programming the PIC the simplest programmer I found that actually
worked was

And for software to run the programmer I used winpic which can be found
at
http://www.winpicprog.co.uk/ which is a really simple to use piece of
burner software.
The MPLAB assembler and compiler are free downloads from the microchip
(manufacturers of the PIC) website.
