<> A cannister containing a set of experiments designed by high school students is schedualed to be sent up on the space shuttle on June 4. Unfortunatly the group sponsering this project has run into problems with person in charge of the controller board. They are in desperate need of someone who can donate the material and the time to produce a simple controller board. The controller must turn devices on and off, based on the current time, or the termperature. I figure they need some kind of cpu, an a to d converter, some kind of temperature sensor, and a multiplexor. What they can offer are some limited funds for hardware, a limited amount of travel money to the shuttle launch, hotel accomodations at the launch for two people, VIP tickets into the launch area for the takeoff and, if there is any TV coverage, they will mention you or your companies' name. There is about 60 days left to get this controller programmed and tested. If you cannot help, but know of an off the shelf controller that would do what is needed, I would like to hear from you also.
