    January 21, 2019

    It is time to get the atMega MCU to actually do something useful. In particular, I want it to activate a really to turn on a heater–but first I’ll experiment with a lamp. The point here is to control the temperature in my hothouse (even though the low quality thermostat on the Walmart heater already killed all of this year’s…
