an approach
would be to write software that would allow the user to draw a time-temperature program curve on a lap-top, then download it to the EPROM in the controller, but that requires a lap-top or a loooong RS-232 cable .

Hey Roger,
This is on my list of things to do. One thought I had was to use a USB port on the controllor. One could then use one of those little USB memory devices to transport a program to the controllor. Course, ethernet is getting to be more and more of an option also, and with those cheap little wireless hubs.....

Jim Kasper.
