Hi Tom/ Kiste , Thank you for your detailed response. Years ago I tried an Arduino set, but I didn't get further than a few simple examples. After my C64 and C-basic period, I don't feel like tripping over all those small changes in the language again. I'm happy to stay with JAL. I've had so much fun with it already. I made my anemometer about fifteen years ago. I read the 16 positions with 4 light barriers and one IC shows the LEDs along a cable to our living room. . For the wind speed I adapted a bicycle spedometer. Now there are some moisture problems and I want to make some adjustments. I will take your experience with me in my adventure What Kiste indicates is quite a nice thing, but according to my wife I am done much too quickly. And she is often right. Anyway, as soon as the Chinese package arrives, I can continue. Happy new year and best wishes to all. regards Hans
