In reality, a dedicated temp IC like a LM335 would be used here.

Good to see you're making some progress Steve. The interface looks good. About the level of functionality I'm trying to achieve. I decided to go the arduino route for a trial, and hopefully, with the others also using it, will come up with something there as well.
I'm presently trialling some PWM boards on a small geared motor for remote focusing and a peltier controller for my DSI III. The first focuser mount is aimed at GSO 10:1 crayfords. The next will be for SW ED100 crayford.
Taking lots of photos, so will pass it along when I get something useable. I'm off to get my DSI III rear cover milled for the heat sink today, so will be able to pass on costs and photos soon.
As I'm just too inexperienced at VB GUI's to do much there, much less ASCOM interfaces, I've decided to just go for the XP USB GUI concept at the moment, and if someone wants to do the ASCOM side of things, go for it.
Good luck,
Mike
