cfastie "The specs for the TPL-5110 timer IC say it can time intervals up to 7200 seconds (2 hours). It seems unlikely that it could be extended beyond that..." | Read more » almost 5 years ago
cfastie "Liz, it's great to know that you (or I guess your Mom) were well coiffed in the 80s, although I regret that you did not include photographic eviden..." | Read more » over 5 years ago
cfastie "Leslie, I will lend you anything you need. Tell me about your HEPA setup. You must already have a 5V Arduino, so all you need is three DuPont wires..." | Read more » over 5 years ago

cfastie "It seems that it might be straightforward to store arrays of data in the 32k of flash memory in a 328p chip. Flash memory is non-volatile and your ..." | Read more » almost 7 years ago
cfastie "This is very clever. I wonder whether the memory in a Atmega 328p can be used to store data. I wonder if it is possible to access those data later...." | Read more » almost 7 years ago
