<< >Out of curiosity, how far in the future are you talking about for your >project? on the order of months, or years? Probably a couple of weeks, or a month, or two, or... My problem is, I have **WAY** too many projects I'm interested in working on, and not enough time to accomplish them all when I'd like. Plus, doing this stuff all day for $$$ it sometimes feels too much like a "busman's holiday" doing it in the evening too. So I always seem to end up spending more time vegging than I intend. Let's put it at "a month or so". Dave >> LoL, I know what you mean. As soon as I get inspired enough to work on one project, another one catches my eye. Result? I sit there, staring into space, trying to decide just what to do with my time. Our wind tunnel doesn't have to be completed until May or so, though we're trying to get it done as soon as possible. Most likely it'll also take "about a month or so." Probably more. Either way, I'd still be interested in your el-cheapo force sensor project. Please let me know how that goes. I hope to get a small page up online documenting our progress on the wind tunnel so others can get an idea of what we're doing. I'll post it when I get it up. -Tony -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
