Junior college student building a weather station - need help creating an analo

matt_s

Hi,

I'm a junior college student and my first project is to build a simple weather station. I'm using a BS2 and have the sensors and the stamp working and communicating over the serial port with·SEROUT and a simple terminal program.

To finish the project I need to be able to display the information via the serial port·on my laptop with a couple of meters and gauges. I have Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic.NET installed and have not been able to find a suitable meter to display.

The free meters I've seen either have a needle that looks poor at low angles and the good meters cost money that I can't afford to spend. I've downloaded the examples from
Jeff T - his code is very sound in contrast to his name of unsoundcode - but I didn't see a meter. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Matt, I will add a simple gauge to the VB thread with some instruction for use with various Parallax sensors, will post within a day or two.

The have free .NET gauge controls if that's what you're looking for. I've used them.
