Scott, please also consider to include a possibility to use the ADC values of OT1plus and/or OT2m for transmitting weather data, in absence of a serial 1-wire weather station. It would be perfect to be able to assign temperature, pressure, wind direction, humidity to some ADC inputs and rain gauge and/or wind speed to the counter input.
This would also be very helpful for many "balloon" telemetry applications. tnx considering. vy 73 de Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Miller To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 5:35 AM Subject: Re: [tracker2] Re: OT2 telemetry Maybe. The OT1+ does that with temperature and voltage. I'll take a look at that when I figure out how I want to do the custom telemetry strings. I'll probably hold off on that until I get some work done on the WS1 weather station. I'm doing some flexible sensor setup that might serve as a good model for the T2 when I get it ironed out.
