We may be going to Australia. Anyone every been to Newcastle? How’s it in July?

Found this here via here. If that doesn’t cause you to sigh you’re not right.

The ardustat is heading for a fairly significant upgrade. While the 10 bit DAC/ADC combo going now is probably fine for batteries, we’re finding that for caps and thermoelectrics sub mV resolution would be nice. The move to 16 bit only requires one additional chip (an independent ADC to replace the onboard Arduino [...]
