# RS-232 Peripheral Interface

Recently I have been engaged in a project to collect temperature data to analyze the thermal properties of homes. This project will eventually lead to the development of a microprocessor controlled thermostat. However, to begin work, data must be collected and analyzed to understand the thermal properties of a home in a quantitative manner.
