I have compleated my first basic stamp project yea!!!

I have 17 tempature sensors on my woodboiler/heat storage tank. (ds18b20+ DS2760 Thermocouple Kit ). I have the usb datalogger recording every 10 mins.·I'm using my 42 inch plasma screen to display the tempature.·I would like a better display then the debug window.·what have people here used?·I'm having the bs2 turn off the storage tank cirulator when the flue gasses are over 500deg fjumpin.gif

I·plan to add a wind turbine current and voltage to the the data logger and wind speed and direction. i also wat that displayed.

    Check out this page. The programs PLX-DAQ and StampPlot may be of interest.

    Free. Activestate TCL. Can create standalone GUI applications that talk SERIAL without too much trouble. (but you have to spend a little time learning it)

    There's nothing like a new idea and a warm soldering iron.

    Gaaah! If you're going to go that route, pick Perl instead. It includes the same Tk package used by TCL and has much broader support (but you have to spend a lot of time learning it smile.gif ).

    Or just hook it to a computer create a program in visual Basic to display the current data.

    I'd recommend learning C instead of VB. I guess it could just be personal preference, but it's nice to be able to program at any level I choose and on almost any platform (Windows, Linux... even
    my nintendo DS).
