Hello,

I've been puttering at a temperature monitoring (and some day control) 
project.  Since I wasn't sure of the final platform I ended up using a USB 
DAC/relay board and made up a simple signal conditioner board for some 
thermistors.

My "supervisory controler" is any *NIX machine currently I'm using 
raspberry pi's but my Mac works just as well.

The board I use is a UK1104 which is OK but it is a bit expensive and the 
termination for the adc is not particularly convenient.  I'd like to use 
something like an arduino Uno and a couple of stacking sheilds (or clones) 
instead.

I started looking around for a simple command interpreter and found avrsh 
and bitlash in the Arduino world but then I realized amforth might be a 
better answer.

At the moment I only need to turn relays on and off and read a raw adc 
value but in the future I might wish to define other words which would be 
quite convenient in forth.  Unfortunately I'm pretty time constrained at 
the moment so I'm hoping for a pretty simple recipe.

Question:

I found this: 
http://amforth.sourceforge.net/TG/recipes/Arduino-Analog.html

Is this current?  I could not find the code referenced in the article.

I did find in ewlib (Erich?) adc.fs and the adc.frt in the butterfly app 
but both of those have a wait adc which I would think contradicts the 
instructions in the recipe to sleep 50ms.

If the recipe is not current I'll happily rewrite it if I decide to go 
this route.  If it is current, offers of links to RTFM would be welcome. 
My brain is atrophying by the day.

Thanks in advance.

Ian
