<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">I need help, I am a ME student and for my senior design project my group and I choose to do a thermo-controlled box. We have to hold the box with +/- .125 C. Sounds easy however do have no money to make it and we have to do it as cheep as possible. One of the TA advised us to us the Parallax BS2 controller to read and control temp. I am using the thermo couple kits that parallax offers and the humidity sensor. However, with and LCD display, two buttons, two thermocouples and humidity sensor I have ran out of memory, I cant program the humidity sensor and I need to try and take a running average for the thermo couples. I need help; I have to try to finish this by DEC.

    Tango -

    The best way to start off is by attaching a copy of what you have so far, so that some of us can inspect it and hopefully make some suggestions as to how to recover some memory. Use the attachment manger rather than putting you program in-line.

    Regards,

    When all else fails, try inserting a new battery.

    Consider renaming your thread to something more meaningful than "NEED HELP!!!". Click on the pencil icon in the right upper corner of your first message box.

    Take a look at the BS2 PID thread. It's an excellent introduction to doing just the sort of thing that you want.

    Thank you for your replies, i have attached the code that i have right now, however it is kind of messy and didn't have time to clean it up. It is just testing code that i have done that i have commented out.
