This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Digital Thermometer Monitor V1.0 Copyright Mike Cook 1998 - Musbury Consultants - all rights reserved This application allows you to read the "RUN THE RISC" Thermometer on the IIC bus, and record the results in a text file. You need the hardware as described in the April. 98 issue of Acorn User. SENSORS In order to simplify the display the reading from only one sensor is displayed at any one time, the displayed sensor is chosen by using radio buttons. Underneath each of these buttons is a check box which tells the computer what sensors to read. This is automatically set up during the programme's loading sequence to all the sensors that are attached to the bus but you can disable or re-enable them at any time. If you try to enable a sensor that is not present you will get a warning box. RECORDING Before recording begins you must specify a path name by the usual drag and drop of an icon then you can click on the record button to log the readings. The first number recorded is the time of the reading in seconds, followed by a TAB, this is followed by TAB separated temperature readings. After the last reading there is a return character (ASCII &OA) to tell the spread sheet to go onto the next line. The reading rate can be set from the menu, to a maximum of one every 0.1 seconds. Before recording begins you must specify a path name by the usual drag and drop of an icon then you can click on the record button to log the readings. You can open up the readings with any text editor to check they are all right. If you have trouble tracking down this temperature sensor chip I can supply them:- �4.50 Inc VAT & P&P Cheques to:- Musbury Consultants 5 Helmshore Rd. Haslingden Rossendale Lancs. BB4 4BG
