An arduino BBQ thermometor project which we can modify for our usage (re: connecting thermistor and translating voltage to temp). The wikipedia article on Thermistors.

Algorithm — no progress since last meeting. By next Thurs, David is going to have read up on heat transfer (linking those materials to Devin for her reading as well) and prepared psuedocode with Devin for presentation. Devin has researched how people measure temperature change and mass but had poor luck; will research heat transfer […]

DANI: Email Aaron regarding hardware. Update blog to reflect meeting decisions. Email Amy regarding blog access issues.   VIC: Determine appropriate connectors for arduino uno and arduino duemilanove. Connect with Weiss and Overcast regarding hardware.   DAVID AND DEVIN: Start cook time algorithm.

We’ll be holding a brief informal meeting between noon and one to check in with one another and ascertain where we are as goes procuring hardware; we should have another meeting time set by the end of today’s meeting.
