[HUMOR] John Mace, if Digitell doesn't rat on you I will [/HUMOR]!


From the Digitell manual, the system warns the operator when:

1. The APU door is open,
2. The leveling jacks are down,
3. The TV antenna is up,
4. Low on fuel,
5. Water in fuel,
6. Exceeding the speed limit,
7. Head lamps on when ignition is off.
(all inputs are 12V)

It also has several clock features:

1. Wall time,
2. Elapsed time, and,
3. Alarm.


Twenty-five dollars buys an Arduino Uno with 14 built-in digital I/O pins and 6 built-in analog input pins. All we need is a voice synthesizer with a set of canned phrases and Digitell can live again, inexpensively and probably in an evening.

Digitell (II) can/will build on these features. In addition to monitoring we can control. The usual home automation features can be included plus today's sensor technology goes way beyond simple binary inputs. Then there's all the cloud stuff with remote browsing and control.

Thanks Mike, long live Digitell (II)!
