Now there's an awesome idea, will work out a way to waterproof the LM35 out the bottom of the case.
Need to also work a way where you can press a button and the device will stay on for X number of minutes and then either sleep or turn off. Then she can press the button, drop it in and watch the colors, of course she will be taught that it is an "Authorized" bath time device, ;-)
BTW, last night I managed to read the input signal from my RC Transmitter (Ok, pulsin is not so hard) from 2 channels and drive 3 different items as follows:
1. LED for testing purposes - easy
2. Pass through for the servo control
3. Glow igniter (proportional depending on the throttle location as well as always on depending on the Gear channel switch) +-3A load - Running through a FET - I learn't how to use these in 1 night, :-) I'm quite chuffed to understand how these work now, it opens up a range of possibilities as now I can switch fairly high loads from the PIC.
Thanks Alain, I noticed you are on RC Groups as well, hope to bump into you there as well in the future, I'll begin posting my autopilot build there soon, planning to use PICs as fail safes for the main navigation / stabilization hardware, :-)
