WARM Greetings Everyone!

 Thank you very much for the fantastic suggestions. While it will take
me some time to think about all the responses, I'm sure any one will
serve the purpose more than well. I guess students of my generation
are lucky that we have the internet and all the good people answering
questions.

Once again thank you all.

So far I've designed a control system that uses a weighing machine (in
a rather crude way; i didnt design it myself, just ripped its' output)
to keep track of the components in a storage shed. Assuming all the
components weigh the same, it should be easy to calculate the no. of
components leaving the shed. So once the weighing machine registers
the weight, the microcontroller sends an email (through a PC; dont
have time or know-how to design a TCP/IP stack) stating the no. of
components that left the shed. Well, rather unimpressive, considering
its an open loop control system and not very useful. I have to
physically place 30 pins or whatever on the scale to get the system
going. Moreover the prof wants a better RTOS. I still have about 2
months to finish it. I'll work on the replies.

Regards,
Devyn
