Welcome

Been workin on iMX processors lately. Very interesting. I especially like the bootloader aspect of the device.

I work on repairing equipment you wouldn't dream of seeing repaired. I make things work that stopped working. I really enjoy it.

So, about the iMX device; its got this diagnostic port called bootloader. Just a few ASCII text sequences with Hyper Terminal and you're really talkin to it. Its an AMR9 based processor. got lots of very useful I-O. Best part yet, is if you find one in a scrap home style, ink jet printer, You've got a potential development environment the likes you haven't dreamed of; power supply and all. So let me change up a couple projects and redirect because of my new personal discoveries.

   A smart thermostat that is accessable through some sort of common media like a home WiFi network; and possibly through the internet. The thermostat can also remotely control a water heater.
