Hi I made the Arbiter and it give me "fine" readings in the Hyperterminal ... but The hotbox(2.12 under XP )is finding the probes ok but the temp data is just...
Hi Hotbox works with DS18S20 and DS18B20. The erratic readings would be from the probes themselves. The hotbox software ignores corrupt data packets. You must...

My apologies, Nick - there is, indeed, an error in the MAX232 layout. I built the original version and never actually built and tested the MAX232 version. I...
That was the first spam in almost 2 years! I've now turned on "new member vetting". If we get any more spam I'll turn on moderation. Happy temperature probing!...
Recently I have come across an article on use of solar energy as a viable alternative energy resource. This article explains that FabDigs to be a San Jose...

i have found this web site for building your own PIC programmer, http://www.diylife.com/2008/02/15/program-a-pic-microcontroller/ apparently this works with...
... http://www.diylife.com/2008/02/15/program-a-pic-microcontroller/ Yes - that looks a good site. You have to use a PIC programmer. The temperature logger...
Hello! I`m very pleased that I can join you. I`m preparing to make my own logger and I have problems with HOTBOX.EXE program. I tried hotbox in 3 computers. On...
Hi Bozo and Rovthinker (I'm using Bozo as a name - not a comment.) Please tell me more about the problems you are having. I'm mildly surprised to hear of...
Like I said, I`m just preparing to make my own temperature logger. So I haven`t made the arbiter and I didn`t try any conections. I just tried hotbox itself....
I am thinking about building one of these to control my solar thermal heating system (turn ON pump to panels, when panel temp = tank temp +15 degrees). Would...
... Definitely! I do exactly this. I have three sensors on the solar panels (actually banks of tubes) two where the primary comes into the tank, several in...
Thanks Phil. Maybe I can get some assistance once I get started! I am really new to electronics and programming. I bought a Basic Stamp to learn both. The...
That is exactly what I had in mind; numerous sensors all displayed on a screen with the process layout depicted. It looks fantastic! -Did you create your user...
... Hi Bill - I'm keeping this public as I guess it may be of interest to others looking at the arbiter et al. No, the interface was written in VB. Hotbox was...
