WEB Thermometer v0.99 by Claudio Lanconelli
-------------------------------------------

This is a simple JAVA GUI interface to the thermometer.
Ther project file is for JBuilder6 (free personl edition is OK),
you need to install the Java COMMAPI to access the COM ports.

HOW TO GET THE HARDWARE
-----------------------

You can build it yourself because it's very simple (look at the
schematic file schematic.png).

Alternatively the SI-Prog multipurpose programmer is able to work
with WEB Thermometer. If you are interested look at
http://www.LancOS.com/prog.html

You can attach up to 8 temperature sensors (Dallas DS1621/DS1631), but
probably with all sensors you need an external power supply (+5V).

COMMON PROBLEMS
---------------

The result is "Err-11".
Check that the hardware is connected, the proper COM port
selected, and a good cable with all pins connected is used.

The result is "Err-13".
The temperature sensor is not responding.
Solution: connect the DS1621/DS1631 sensor and select the proper
address (1-8).

The result is always "Err-14".
The program need to access the COM port, you need COMMAPI for this
purpose.
