Hi.
I have made a datalogger with 3 thermocouples. Every thing is working fine.
My only problem is that, the code a using requires and serial input, i would like to have it by using a manual switch.
I have tried to make a control pin, and when it is HIGH i want it to datalog.
But i can't make it work.
Can any one help me?
