While we are on temperature probes, has anybody dissected one of those
cheap digital indoor/outdoor thermometers made by Micronta and sold by
Radio Shack, but probably sold under many other brand names? I notice
that the PCB has contacts for additional buttons. Two seem to be for
min and max readings. I've also seen an ad for model that has serial
output. So it would seem that the chip used has "unadvertised
features".  Anybody know what the extras are and how to get them?
