2024-10-02 17:25:56 <KipIngram   > Fortunately when they fixed our internet after the lightning, they "abandoned" an ethernet run from the inside equipment box to the side of the house, in favor of an all-fiber run.  So I only had to extend that cable from the old AT&T box to the pool box; about 35'.
2024-10-02 17:26:57 <KipIngram   > Now I only have software additions to make (temp control, etc.)  Temp MEASUREMENT looks like it's working fine, but I haven't calibrated it yet.
2024-10-02 17:27:21 <KipIngram   > But I'm watching the measured resistance of the water temp sensor change as the day warms up.
2024-10-02 17:27:56 <KipIngram   > Oh, and it does get a little warmer than I like inside that box - I'm going to add a little fan.

2024-10-02 19:54:13 <xentrac     > hey, that's awesome, KipIngram!
2024-10-02 19:54:31 <KipIngram   > I didn't have to muck about with anything in those parts of the system.  The temp sensor itself was still fine - I just hooked its wires to my new controller board.
2024-10-02 19:54:41 <KipIngram   > Also didn't have to deal with any high voltage / power stuff.
2024-10-02 19:54:47 <KipIngram   > All control level things.
