This morning I worked on cleaning up the Davis ISS moteino code, paring it down so that it only sends Temp, humidity and dewpoint out the serial port. This was a success. I also blocked serial port transmissions until good packets were received for bot the temp and humidity. Next step is to build a little perf board with the Huzzah, moteino and power terminals. I'll have to program the Huzzah without the moteino so I don;t blow it up with 5 volts on the Rx/Tx lines. Once the FTDI is disconnected the ESP Huzzah to the Moteino communication will be 3 volt only so there is no danger. I'm going to use the Huzzah onboard regulator to power the moteino which I hope won't be a strain. It should consume less that 100 ma worst case and typically 40 to 50 ma.
After lunch I filled the gas tank at Costco at 2.19 since we didn't have any Kroger points built up to get cheaper gas. You need 100 points for each 10 cents per gallon discount. i went to Walmart and picked up the Progresso soup which was $1 per can cheaper than Kroger although selection was limited. nancy came over this morning. I fooled with her Honda CRV. She said the navigation system was yelling at her. The icon doesn't seem to be there. She said it acted strange since her oil change. We left at 5:50 for Esquires and got caught up in a traffic jam on the beltline starting at crossroads. We decided to get off at Jones Franklin and eek our way along mostly parallel to the beltline, going to Hillsborough and then getting on Blue Ridge eventually getting to the beltline at Lake Boone. I'm not sure if this saved us anything in time but we kept moving. Our normal table at Esquires was full, Bill and joan were at the table so we sat with the 2 pilots , Bob and his wife as well as Jocylyn and Greg. We stayed until after the break, leaving at 9:30. I was really tired and hardly made it around the dance floor for our last dance.
