[sdiy] Reticon R5101.... time to get brilliant

[media at mail1.nai.net]

Not to discourage brilliance, but afaik, Panasonic makes a replacement chip.

While I wonder how many guys on this list used the temperature probe that
came with their multimeter to check turkeys, it's the ones who installed a
tempco in the stuffing that really worry me.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
