I've just run across a partially-working Heath ID-5001 and am trying to get it do something useful. At the very least, the flourescent bulb PSU is out (the TIP41 gets *really* hot in a couple of minutes), and the front bezel has some cracks. The rest of the unit looks fine, though. With the top off, and room light shining in, it's possible to read the display. I can set the baud rate and the date/time from the front panel, but not much else. I've already run across an LED back-light scheme, so in the long-run, I can fix that. I've also seen a page on how to manufacture temperature sensors with non-obsolete parts. I could really use some docs on how to calibrate the unit (there are several pots on the CPU board), and how the other sensors work. Anyone on the list have one of these? -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-130-S Current South Pole Weather at 27-Dec-2003 20:20 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -6.5 F (-21.4 C) Windchill -38.4 F (-39.1 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 12 kts Grid 340 Barometer 692.4 mb (10163. ft) Ethan.Dicks(a)amanda.spole.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html
