Now that my current pet project, the teardrop, it's almost finished, I'm thinking of the next one. Would anyone be interested in a "clock/outside thermometer/battery charge level", all in one, DIY kit? I can design it and test it and maybe sell the kits or publish the design and software, if you want to build it from scratch.

The cost of the parts would be somewhere around $60:

It's going to need:
LCD screen: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/790
Real time clock module: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/99
A brain: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9061
Waterproof temperature sensor http://www.sparkfun.com/products/11050
A 16MHz ceramic resonator, few caps, resistors and a custom PCB.

Any thoughts?



I am a ham radio operator I have built many kit's some from scratch some from an all in one kit.
I have make my own printed circuit boards I don't know enough to design anything myself
I would be interested in seeing what you have in mind so charge onward and good luck.
