Measurement

I finally put together an Arduino Pro Mini, the XBee, the MMA7260Q, the HMC6352, the TEMT6000 and the DS1620. This is how it looks like on the prototyping board (ugly, I know) Hopefully it would look better when I move it to the PCB. But before doing that I need to get the battery power set up. (I’m waiting for a MAX756 DC-DC voltage regulator and CoilCraft inductors to arrive) ...

I received a couple of Arduinos Diecimilla that I bought from Libelium. My first project with Arduino has been interfacing with DS1620 digital temperature sensor. It was really easy it just a matter of connecting pin 3, 4 and 5 on the Arduino to RST, CLK and DQ on the DS1620. The source code in this post will read the temperature from the DS1620 using the 3 wire interface and it will output the result to the serial interface in the Arduino. ...
