Jason, I have a couple of Perl programs that do that. You pretty much need to use a serial port module to provide the communications. I'm not in a position right now to bundle them up for you, but I can do that tonight. John Jason Rabel wrote: I did some Googling but kept hitting dead

Daun, Thanks for the info. Just for grins I tried to hook the GND on pin 2 to the GND on pin 4/5. Still nothing. I'm going to let it cool down then open it back up and start following the troubleshooting in the manual, hopefully it will be a simple fix like yours turned out to be. :) Jason

If all you want to do is copy whatever comes in the serial port to a file, cat would probably do what you need. Use awk (gawk) if you want to prepend the current date/time. Gary Jason Rabel wrote: I did some Googling but kept hitting dead ends, so I figured I would hit you guys up for

Yes, the black wires are the thermistor. The crystal has three wires. Two are actually connected to the crystal electrodes. The third is the case. The case is fastened to the casting with a screw. The only way the casting gets an electrical ground is by way of the crystal ground screw and
