Nothing amazing, but I picked up another atmega328 chip and a resonator and built a little board. Right now it doesnt have anything hooked up but eventually it will be connected to an LCD, pH sensor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor, and some SSR's.
It has a blue LED connected to the [arduino] pin 13, an ICSP header for burning the bootloader (or incase I want the extra 2kb of space), a header for power, and a header for Tx, Rx, and RST (to program with the Arduino IDE).
I apologize if the multiple posts makes anyone unhappy; I just like having a new post for every update, as it makes it easier for me to track progress and time/dates.
Finished the code (for now) include a Max/Min/Current temp display, using custom characters (the up and down arrows) to identify which is max and which is min, without cluttering the (tiny) display. I ran out of AWG30 wire, so when I pick more up Ill add the LCD to the atmega board and wire it up.
