03-SchafferTempSense.MOD

In each Tech-Fest, I like to recognize unique and original projects that have never been attempted at the college. This entry gets my vote for most unique, built-from-scratch project. No student in recent history has decided to do this:
1. Collect analog data (temperature)
2. Convert it to digital with an A/D Converter
3. Send it to a microcontroller (MDE8051 Trainer Board)
4. Send the temperature to a laptop using a serial connection.
5. Display the temperature, real-time on a GUI (written in Java)
