A W1209 Software for Cooling with a Peltier Element

@paulcrawford turned the W1209 Data Logging Thermostat into a cooling controller with a serial interface.

The project started on HackaDay, continued with an STM8 eForth issue, and was completed in issue #22 in this repository.

In the issues mentioned above Paul achieved the following:

  • coping with a non-standard W1209 board variant (Nuvoton chip, 5K NTC pull-up)
  • set-up of Travis-CI for Paul's fork of the TG9541/W1209 repo
  • changed control.fs from heating to cooling
  • menu adapted and simplified,logger.fs removed
  • serial interface for temperature data with counter and CRC-16

The process of problem resolution and the Forth learning process worth reading!
