Sensor Board Updates

Spent yesterday afternoon soldering.  Sharin & I wanted to get the protoype off the bread board and into a permanent home.  The specific board we worked on was the receiver that communicates with the computer.  Looks much better with appropriate length wires. :-)

This morning was also very productive.  I started out at the hardware store looking for screws to mount the CO2 sensor/transmitter boards.  Miss judged sizes, so I had to make a second trip.  (This time I took a generic board for reference.)  Bought #6 screws & 1/4" teflon standoffs for mounting the boards to a 4" x 4" piece of wood.  The boards are mounted next to each other and we are now working on shortening the wiring to make it look better.  Functioning great!  Blow into or talk over the CO2 sensor & the fan kicks on right on que.

More to come.
