I made this device in 1997;
1. EXOline protocol on RS-485
2. I2C to talk to EEPROM with calibration parameters.
3. SPI to talk to D/A converter
4. 1-wire to communicate with up to 8 external DS18B20 temperature sensors.

All done in a Microchip PIC16C73, which has 192 bytes and 2k PROM.

Challenges;
a. maximum size of EXOline packet is ~240 bytes, so couldn't buffer the whole packet.
b. Each 1-wire has a 64 bit address, so 1/3 of RAM for those addresses.

WTF?? Brave browser rewards me for the ads that it shows. In March, I earned BAT6.326 (as seen on screen to the right), but I am only awarded BAT0.25, both in the pop-up "Your Reward Amount" as well as the actually add, so my grand total is now BAT16.500

Anyone seen something similar? Anyone any clues about what is going on?

Fuck! I have to retract all my claimed prowess in Java.

These don't produce the same output!!!

Who was the brain dead idiot at Sun that made that decision? How many bugs have I introduced in my code?
