I would be interested knowing how one would go about making a counter using the custom circuit board. I thought of a system using a wheel with conductive/non-conductive sectors and having a wire brush sense if it is moving or not. This would require minimal programming and would definately a simple solution.

One might be able to put a thermometer on the control board but it would be limited in purpose and may/maynot be legal depending if you are allowed to have the $100 outside of the board or not. Having an ammeter is also not that useful because you can see the voltage drop using the control system.


(I hit the "close window button" on my Logitech mouse and somehow it submitted the post. Strange. Oh well, that just means it wants me to post it, so I did and I had to modify it.)
