If today’s test goes as predicted we now have: 8 independent water line. 4 digital input for alarms. 20 different programs stored in non-volatile memory. temperature sensor and average temperature on the last 24h. real time clock. Any program has a start time expressed in which days of the week, start time in hour and minutes, duration time in minutes.

For a long time I used a simple bash script to scan my paper documents, something easy, a single command just to do that. Today I’m switching to a gscan2pdf which is a really good and fast tool to take a lot of paper and merge them into a single or multiple pdf files.

The opensint is one of the most git-complicated project I’ve done. In the beginning this project was developed using arch revisioning system (aka tla) and later it was migrated to git with git-arch tool.

Moreover the very first commits includes product’s datasheet, which may or may not freely redistributable.
