DIY Digital Thermometer over ethernet

Zedomax has done another interesting project. He first built a digital thermometer, which you can find out all about it here. He then connected it to ethernet so he could monitor his temperature over the internet.

“Okay you’ve built the digital thermometer but you ran out of ideas and didn’t know what to do with it. Well if you wanted to, you could add a Lantronix XPORT ethernet serial device to the serial channel and monitor temperature remotely over the ethernet. Now I have the ability to check temperature of my room even when i am in Hawaii or New York!

The greatest thing about these little XPORTs is that you can enable any microcontroller w/ serial ports to be ethernet ready…”
