 Datalogger Board Prototype Things have been pretty busy for a while, but there are a few new things to add. I now have five cornelius kegs, so I can finally keep a back-stock of full kegs, giving them some time to warm condition while they wait their turn to go in the kegerator. Currently on draft are a pale ale and a dry stout (making some great black and tans), and kegged is an ESB. I've also been (slowly) working on one of my more long-term projects, a temperature datalogger board. It monitors three temperature sensors and logs data to an SD card, allowing huge storage, uses a real-time clock for timekeeping, has an on-board LCD for a direct interface, and connects via USB to a PC to download and view data. I've got more work to do on the user interface side of things (LCD menu system, software, etc), but it currently logs data just fine and the software can retrieve the data and plot it versus time. There's also a couple of outputs, which will allow it to become a temperature controller and not just a datalogger. More pics after the jump...
