Here's what I'm looking to build.......hopefully someone has some good
advice or maybe even has already built something similar.

I've build circuits to detect temperatures in the past but I'd like to
take it to the next level. I want to build a small, inexpensive
circuit that will detect ambient air temperature changes, display temps
to a small digital display, and even better, somehow log temp data (per
second or so). My initial thoughts are to use a usb flash drive since
they are small, inexpensive, and easily used with a desktop PC for
later analysis of the temp data. Basically I want to place the
thermometer at a location, leave, have the temp data logged, and be
able to later review the temp data on a computer.

Anyone have any advice on this one?

Thanks!!!

Steve

You'll need a fairly powerful (micro)computer to talk directly to a
USB peripheral. You might do better with a CF or SD card.
