Fig 1: Finished look of the “Love-o-Meter” project

Project 3 went very well, and this is the point that I almost have to control the temptation of finishing the entire project book in one sitting. The temperature in my office was at a cozy 18.5 degrees Celsius. Pinch the temperature head with my thumb and index finger, and the readings went up to above 23 degrees C, and the heat took a while to dissipate. The intimate contact with serial communications and A-to-D convertors is hugely satisfying and intriguing at the same time — Despite having been writing codes for some years, I have very little exposure/understanding about computer architectures. This experiment also pushes me to find a great article about serial communication.
