Hello. I am wanting to build (or have built) a small and simple (emphasis on 'small and simple') circuit which would left the Amiga monitor the temperature of a 'probe' (the probe should be kinda small ... like maybe the size of an inkpen). Would someone who is well versed in electronics let me know if this would be a simple thermal resistor combined with a couple of other parts -or- would this be a real pain to build. thanks a million!

The simplest way would be to take a temperature dependant resistor of max. resistance approx. 470 kOhm and connect it directly to the second mouse/joystick port, just like an analogous paddle. Which pins to use and how the software can monitor this is spreaded across several books. Look into the Addison-Wesley RKM Hardware Reference Manual. But note: This is simple AND VERY UNPRECISE! -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ rutgers!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk
