    I will more than likely be using the popular DS18B20 for the sensor. I would use the data as an ordinary thermometer and display it on the display. As for code, I put in the #include OneWire.h in ino file for the time being. I thought about making a new menu option, after “Time and…” (#define TempDispMenuItem 11) and using the +/- buttons to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius (or maybe include just for fun, Kelvin and Rankine) as well as include it as an alternating mode with the current time. Come to think of it, I really don’t use the 5 letter words display too much, so yeah, maybe I could replace that and save some memory.

    Now that I looked at it, it is quite obvious. I don’t know why it didn’t click for me. I was trying everything last night. I even tried making a secondary font table (a5_FontTableB) with a different offset. I did manage to find a temporary solution.. I remember you talking to me (when I was doing the marriage proposal) about using some of the symbols as extra characters. So I substituted #&,:; for uvwyz (I left x out because when mapped on the display, it’s the same as X) and used ^ and ` for special characters.

    Thanks Windell! I now have 3 out of 5 things accomplished. All that’s left is the Temperature Sensor (Where would be a good place to put it on the PC board? And where in the code (and which file) do I it put it in?) and more clock options.

    Yup, that’s why. My mistake. I’m still kinda new to all of this. Thanks! I’ll be learning more as I go along.
