Automatic Attic Window Controller
With a weather dependent control
Published in issue 350, January 2006
Electronic engineers are often ardent collectors. “Throwing these old parts away would be a waste”, is an often-heard phrase. This results in attics and garages that are overflowing with boxes full of the things, much to the dismay of the other occupants of the house. A fair number of these items can be used in this design, reducing the size of your spare parts mountain.
