Re: [ATM] Temperature sensing

[Dominic-Luc Webb <dlwebb@canit.se>]

Given my (somewhat?) less than professional construction
materials and techniques, I think the ability to read so
many sensors could have applications like monitoring
circuit boards, mechanical parts and maybe more....

Another thing I have been thinking about, more
like bad science fiction than science or engineering, is
the use of heat differentials to bend optical and other
surfaces. Surely people have done this, but I am not
personally aware of and actually application of such a
method of adaptive optics. I reckoned it would get out of
the problem of having a bunch of expensive precision motors.
