For years Ive had this very old voltmeter I wanted to do something with: I liked the beautiful wooden case, the leather strap, but honestly, I had better tools for my day to day electronics experiments. I found a purpose for it when I started experimenting with the .NET Gadgeteer kit, and one of my first prototype of connected object: a simple meteo station that would measure temperature, humidity and pressure and upload data to a feed in Cosm, formerly known as Pachube, which is a connected objects web platform used to publish and consume realtime data. I had two goals with this project: have fun with the .NET Gadgeteer kits, and experiment on a complete connected object prototyping cycle (Im not going to talk about industrialization or mass production here).
