Personal life got in the way, plus lack of interest. Now back in full force!
Finished soldering up a perfboard copy of the hardware design, which is a good thing because I discovered a few things I needed to change, more on that in the next post.
Brief update is, hardware is solid so far, finished up code for the ADS1118, ran a calibration curve on the thermocouples (they're k-type, much to my surprise!), Finished writing a library to allow the usage of the '328's timers as one shots, thanks to an excellent write-up here. Also have external interrupts working using INT0, connected to the zero-crossing detector.
I migrated to eclipse, using the eclipse-avr plugin with gcc support, though unfortunately it doesn't support gdb directly, I'll have to look into that, but so far I haven't needed it.
There's a new BitBucket link to the repo, it was easier to make a new one rather than trying to retool the old one, since eclipse is kinda nasty when it comes to work spaces.
What still remains is integrating all of the individual code components, everything works in isolation so far.
Expect another update with pictures and more details very soon!
