I take a significant amount of cords and electronic doodads through TSA regularly. I find that you'll only be hassled if the wires are parts are all mixed together making it hard to tell what's there in X-ray. I just keep a ball of rubber bands around and neatly coil and band each cable, and

Thanks Mile, Nick, and Janissa! All great ideas. I especially like the T-shirt one. I have a cool black one I got at the Summit in Uruguay... that should do nicely! I too get the thorough suspected terrorist treatment whenever I fly... 2 metal knees, no see-through scanners, lots of computers

oh, this seems to be just on par with my Python experience in general, maybe the nature of the beast. Many different paths possible, documentation sort of random. Confusing! The good of it is that it indeed seems to be an environment where anything is possible. As to bugginess, I do not

Hi Tony, I was hoping someone would recognize one of the thermistors at the link I sent with 4 possibilities. Unfortunately they don't have specs on them so I really can't tell which would work best... if at all. Maybe I should just go to Plan B and order LM35Ds from a supplier in TX and get
