    @Samuel235 It would be possible, I am planning to implement a GPS, and wireless information would be really nice, 'Hi! I'm stuck at XXXX' :)

    There is a small problem though, not enough IO's, so we probobly need to hack and add one more CPU (atmega? ;) that uses the 8 io to the keypad and send data serially between the cpu's (decoding keypad in atmega, send seriell, and tada 7 free io's! :) Plenty enough for wireless chips!

    regarding GPS I think I can use the built in USB in the battery compartment, no major mod required for it. :)

    @Damme, there is also the 74HC238 IC too. I was doing some educational reading this morning and stumbled across this little fella for some reason while looking at 555 timers. I just remembered what it was when Gert mentioned the use of his suggested ICs. However it is only a 3-8 IO decoder.

      Hello everyone!

      It's fun seeing this thread alive again!

      Sorry I havn't been here for a long while, in the picture you'll see what have been keeping me occupied.. (the orange lawn mower, I'm reverse-engineering it!) and I also moved over from Arduino, atmega328p to esp8266 devices and more advanced cpu's (arm, cortex etc) and 'real' build enviroments..

      If there is any interest in my project, https://hackaday.io/project/6717-landlord

      The picture pretty much explains how my brain works.. I really need to clean up, might add another picture after that. Behind the mower two rigol devices are hiding, a scope and a p-psu.

      @Damme Only the chair and Weller iron seem to be identical to your opening picture at the top of this thread ;-)
      Everything else seems to have changed (including location of your desk) :+1:
      Good to see you're back man!

              @Yveaux Thanks I luuurve my 660 although it still scares the begeezus out of me. 7HP in your hands is quite a buzz.
              Just got a second hand weather station Im gonna fiddle around with when the mood takes me. And when I get a 433MHZ receiver.

                  @Matt, i generally keep my chainsaw downstairs away from my electronics. I can't have the oil everywhere!

                    @Samuel235 yeah the Dolmar leaks, I think its a design feature. Problem is I live with three drunken monkeys who are entropy impersonated, as such I cant keep anything inside if I want to find it again.

                            I just bought a new soldering iron for it last year. Had to google for days to find spare parts. :D

                                  @gohan That looks very much like the one that @AWI posted previously in the thread only with a nice case and a color display. The one he posted is quite a bit cheaper. I may get one myself and just 3D print a case for it. I can use your link for the 3D case design.

                                    Just looked on ebay, and here is one a bit cheaper that comes with a basic case.

                                      if you want the case it costs 10$. The one I posted it seems to have pretty much the same specs, but it can detect also IR and probably some more components. It also comes with a lithium battery instead of the classic 9V, color screen and the case looks much better :)

                                        @gohan You are right. I just ordered the thing. With the case and the builtin battery it looks like a real tool. The price seems to be a promotion. Normal price is >30$.
                                        You shoult by the way fix the link. Makes it easier for others to order it.

                                        I am looking for a soldering vise. Has anyone tested this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00196RV9C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2COJS1QZ6SUVJ&coliid=IQEGMI1GM2R46 ?
