Re: "Weather station" project on //e

John,

I don't know very much about the nature of the serial port on the Apple
//e.

However, I have a number of packages that will interface with a PC Com
Port.

	8-channel Temperature Meas
	8-channel I/O plus two 12-bit A/D
	4-channel 8-pin A/D
	Timer as might be used with a Sonar

	Serial Weather.  This includes two temperatures, atmospheric pressure, two
RH, wind speed, gust, direction, rainfall and one user 12-bit A/D.

On this, we use a wind vane and annenometer by Fascinating Electronics.

There is info on my homepage; http://www.access.digex.net/~pha
