how do you insert photos in this ??

When I came home today I saw the fan was running.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how much it helped. I think I'm going to connect my laptop to the arduino to do some data logging just to get an idea of how its working.

This looks like a heat recovery ventilator. They're used over here mostly in newer houses that are sealed better and need fresh air. They're a great idea, but this isn't what I'm doing with this project.

If you are trying to use photos that are already on the Internet,

locate the URL of the photo
copy it to clipboard
use the 'insert photo' button
paste the photo URL to the dialog box

If you wish to include images that are NOT on the Internet,

Go to the 'Manage Attachment' button... it will open a new page
Press the 'Choose' button
upload
the URL of your photo will be there (right click) in 'current attachments'
follow steps given at the top of this page

I like to center my photos, I think they look better, so I highlight the picture code and use the 'center' button...

Here is the ventilation heat exchanger thread:
DIY ventilation heat exchanger
If you already have one, or are planning to get one, please share any info that might be useful.

Daox, have you noticed that this thread is already pinged by heat-booster.com?

I came home today to see the attic fan blowing. I'm still working on a data logging setup for it to see what is actually happening.

Get some / recycle some attic heat this weekend?

Daox · 04-25-11, 08:06 AM

You betcha. I was gone this weekend, but now that its fully automated, it kicked in and heated the house at least on Sunday. When I came home it was still on.

I might have figured it out? We will see ?

Since tweeker bumped my post up I thought I'd give an update. The system and been working very well and I'm quite happy with it. Pretty much any sunny day (minus one day that was 20 mph winds) itll turn on and heat up the kitchen from the mid 60s to 69-70F.

I haven't toyed with the datalogging yet either. Its working, I'm happy. I'm okay with that for now.
