Spotted this on hack a day...

Ian wrote a nice instructables how-to (http://www.instructables.com/id/EV9KA88GBMEQZJJOR5/?ALLSTEPS) on building a USB thermometer using a PIC 18F2550. It’s surface mount, but that’s doable with a very fine tip and all parts are available through-hole. The controller provides all the I/O needed for the USB interface and the data collection. It looks like a great intro for building USB interfaces to your projects. He also wrote up how to syndicate the data (http://www.instructables.com/id/E25ZKI1NDCEQZJJOTC/) for the web.
Dylan Field sent us our first Chumby hack tip (http://host487.ipowerweb.com/%7Edilchill/blog/2006/08/hacking-chumby_31.html). Oh, and I got a new daughter too. (So I’m a little tired.)
