Yes indeed. If it was me, I would solder a two-conductor cable onto two nails and drive them, say, an inch apart somewhere in the bottom of the compartment, and run the cable back to some place where I could periodically test them. Make a note of the normal resistance, and take action when it changes dramatically. This is the principle behind the wood moisture meter like this: https://shop.euroheat.co.uk/Misc2/13/Wood%20Moisture%20Meter.html This page has a section on using a multimeter to measure wood moisture: http://woodgears.ca/lumber/moisture_meter.html Now, if you want to automate all of this, you can use a multi channel 1-Wire voltage sensor like this, based on the mighty DS2450: http://pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=product&product_id=43 (I have several of these and they work beautifully.) -- Daniel MacKay Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Owfs-developers mailing list Owfs-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/owfs-developers
