The clock looks very good do you have any hardware details.
The packaging of the Outback Dot Clock is on-going and very last project step is the paperwork eg bill of materials, schematic and PCB files.
A quick summary. The Dot clock has a MCP9700A temp sensor, HIH-5030 humidity sensor, a AMBI (sharp) light sensor, 5 2N3904 LED drivers,a DS3231M I2C RTC and two tac switch inputs. The clock face has 38 LEDs.
BTW This topic should be posted on the other link.
Did you complete your 8 year data logging/security project from previous postings?
The Outback Dot Clock was the evolution from the "special contract" 8 year data logging/security project. So the obvious answer is yes.
I would be most interested in home brew station, perhaps a wireless link would overcome any lightning problems.
I am looking into CAN with isolators for lightning protection. Sparkfun has their weather board, which is $124 plus a wireless module that fits the Argent. I believe this cost is excessive and using MMBasic hardware and software would be much better and cheaper.
