What is this about

[Puggs]

Hi All

I have a Velleman K8055 USB Interface board that i am experamenting with. The idea is to set up some tests with this board to see if i can make a USB weather Station using Microchips PIC 16C765 USB chip. The idea is to test small parts of the system without all the over head off designing the whole thing.

So far i have hooked up a rain sensor and a solar panel, but i have not written the software to access these sensors.

I have decided to write the code for my linux server, that way the graphs and data can be seen on the internet.

As there is only 2 analog input to this board i will make a multiplexer to be able to read more sensors (eg. in sun tempature, out of sun temapture, humidity, presure, etc. etc.).

So, i better get started...
