Would I use a modified version of example 8 in the manual?  I've never done anything with time based plc coding.   basically have it check for midnight or noon, if it is then power up a output with a relay to power motor, then while motor is on have it be checking for the photo interupter to...

I have a pet feeder   http://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Feeder-Electronic-Programmable-display/dp/B002X73CBC   that needs new electronics -original was hard to program didn't work correctly half the time.   It uses a motor with a gear system to turn the bowls.  on bowl #1 the is a contact switch...

i just meant for chubrock1 - he only needs 1 more analog input.  So I just was asking if DS had a chip that did that (or more than one) that was still active... 

CAI_Support is DS making a new chip to replace the DS2450?  seems like they do that a lot.  oris there another chip that is still made that we could use to give us 1 or more analog inputs using the 1wire?

why not add the 1wire 4 analog expansion?  I know DS is discontinuing them but they are still out there.   that way you can just use the moderndevices analog sensor.   here's a ready made one I bought that works great with my webcontrol $17.50 + $8 shipping from china  ...

in regards to the hub coding, have you checked around on some of the programming forums?  maybe someone has made a patch or code that will allow use of a hub.  even if its a specific hub (as long as its not too expensive lol) the benefits would be great!   refresh my memory - what are the...

Cool, once again I'm ready to help with a beta test (unless you're really in an alpha stage)

or heres the other thing.  could you electroplate a zinc coating onto the resistors?  would that make them last longer?  There are plenty of diy ways to do that.

oh i agree.  just thought it was interesting.  some of these diy approaches are very good.  others - so so.   this site is where he got the idea and he has it mounted to a metal pipe (or with an aluminum strip on opposite side of resistors)   Why couldn't you use that metal tubing they use for...

found  this great post on a homemade water level sensor using a pvc (or whatever pipe) and some resistors.  looks promising.  they used it with an arduino so it should would with the webcontrol.   http://lifeboatfarm.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/arduino-water-level-gauge/

any news?

I wonder if it would be difficult to use the webcontrol as the controller for an XY solar array tracker? moderndevices has a pretty cheap analog light sensor. I would think you could use the shade system to do it. Any ideas? I'm talming doing it with a seperate sensor not by the output of...

can we get an unassembled kit here in the US? I'm looking to use it just as a breakout (not use the opamp).

well you could sell it as a kit as long as you tell us where the different resistors go. I have no problem soldering it myself but I'm sure someone here would like a complete one. I just love black and red colored pcbs. I've seen a bright blue one once too that looked cool. It even had the...
