Hi Mike, The Sheringham Museum is doing groovy stuff with Pi's as anyone
who attended the MA Digital Tech conference in January at MOSI knows. Look
up the museum on the web and have a chat, the manager said at the
conference he is happy to have a conversation.
One of their projects was a humidity sensor which I imagine is running 24/7.
