Scriptable Thermometer

"Top results demand top tools" An award-winning project sponsored by IAR

A unified thermometric controller that can be programmed with simple scripts, integrating the "classic" thermometer/controller pair.

You can build a variety of simple machines with the same hardware and a different script : a charting thermometer, a vending machine that dials your number when empty, a leavening cell...

• thermometer with 1°F (0.5C) resolution
• four switch inputs, four relay outputs
• only an handful of cheap parts
• graphic LCD display
• script interpreter built-in, can run ASCII programs (basic-like)
• 6KB non volatile script memory
• full screen editor built-in
• modular C source code (need a graphic LCD driver?)
• Two applications provided:

CHARTING THERMOMETER			SMS PHONE-MAIL ENPOWERED VENDING MACHINE
	Load this script to make Scriptherm draw temperature graphs			Load this script to control a refrigerated vending machine that sends you a SMS phone mail message when empty
