I was just scanning through the June 03 issue of Circuit Cellar magazine when I saw the third prize awarded to Spehro Pefhany for a chimney sentinel built with a Pic microcontroller. There are some pretty inovative projects presented. The URL is
Nice work!

Seems to be a very usefull item! Congratulations, Spehro! Do you know who may market this?
Jim Kovar Vulcan, Mi
Yea Spehro! Second that.
Thanks. No, I don't. I have not made any effort to market or manufacture this product to date- there are a few other projects ahead of it. I'd probably redesign it a bit, the cost is higher than it ought to be because it was optimized to use certain parts made by Microchip. ;-)
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany
His Taculator works fine too!
I just got mine going.
Hey, that's good to hear, John!
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany (posting from steamy Taipei today)
