Temperature Guage, Part 3 (A quick glance)

So, because I'm slow and am otherwise working on lots of other things, here is what the temperature display looks like currently.


Also on the lower board are 3 MOSFETs for switching things. I'll be tweaking a few things for the next post so we can play with that. For starters I'll use the buttons on the i2C controller board (under the display) to navigate a short menu. From that menu I'll trigger 3 different events at 3 different temperatures.

MOSFETs
(the red, yellow and black wires go to the TMP36 sensor)

I've got to get some 90 degree headers so I can cable in other sensors, too.

The code for the above display is easy. Basically I'm using the LCD library functions. I'll post the code in a bit and probably link it [HERE].

Just a quick update. Some time I gotta sit down and make this into a much slicker how-to.
