OK, so here is where I’m at and what I’m up to. WHIA is working really well, but I still haven’t put up pictures of the pressure sensor assembly and for that, I suck. I have picked up a Toshiba Magnia SG20 that was going to find a new home in my truck as an MP3/GPS/DVD/OBD-II/War Driving Wifi Sharing piece of geekery, but seems to want to live life as a firewall instead. It’s getting hacked to run either Linux or PFSense (BSD).
The small form factor PC that I had picked up for WHIA has been re-purposed for the truck PC now. I pulled the mobo out of it and smacked in a dual core Atom based board, giving me USB, SATA and a bit more umph and lower power to boot!
I’ve got a snow crash inspired Big Board project brewing on paper to give me a nice sized board with 64 or so RGB LEDs telling me all about the health of various monitored systems, but that one may be on the back burner for awhile. And during all of this, we are running new electricity and lights throughout the house, painting the whole thing and laying wood floors on the entire first floor. I’m not usually one for having so many irons in the fire, but it just kinda worked out that way.
