Still pretty much the same idea, implemented on a custom circuit board with the atmega168 chip and max7219 led drivers among notable parts. It is arduino-compatible trough a FTDI USB cable. Uses segment led bars for display of measurements. Interfaces the air quality and weather sensors. Keeps an eye on the battery voltage too.

Very similar to the V1 except connected to the computer trough an arduino instead of a parallel port.
 +
The needed firmware code for the Arduino is (sorry, missing at this time, [[Talk:User:Luka|ucanbugme!]])
 +
 
 +
The serial protocol is line oriented with the first character being the command. Some example lines:
 +
s 1 1 0 0
 +
s 7 1 1 0
 +
w 0 0
 +
w 1 0
 +
w 1 1
 +
w 2 0
 +
b 1
 +
b 2
 +
 
 +
;s ''sw1'' ''sw2'' ''btn'' ''sens'': switch, button and sensor states sent by the panel
 +
;w ''led'' ''state'': led states sent to the panel: 0 off, 1 on, 2-255 intensity
 +
;b ''led'': led blink requests sent to the panel
 +
