Re: [DML] Gauges / Sending Units, electrical information....

published somewhere? Probably not in a compiled form, I'm sure....

Nice idea! AFAIK, the basic stamp supports speech output. This opens many
possibilities... What about these:

" Your motor overheats!"
" Oil level is low!"
" Exchange your fuel accumulator!" (after long cranking when hot)
" Close your door while driving, you idiot!" :-)

I am very interested in this idea, but at the moment I have to spend my time
restoring my D. Remind me in approx. 18 months from now. By then I should
have finished the major works and should have the time for such little
toys... :-)
bye,

Ralf.
