Hello!
First of all i want to thank you all for making this forum what it is, it's really nice to have a place on the internet where people can discuss electronics with so many bright members.
I was thinking of something fun and challenging i could build to learn, and got this idea.
I want to build a digital thermometer which uses an thermistor to estimate the temperature, then encode the temperature to binary and transfer it to the computer via the serial or usb port then code a interface to display the temperature on the computer.
Is this possible in a simple way ? Is there any ic's designed for this job ?
Im into programming (mostly C and C++), so the coding of the interface to get the temperature shouldn't be the biggest problem.
Hope to get some answers, Thanks.
