   Greetings,

   I first became aware of JeeNodes and Plugs while researching for a open-source hardware shield project for a group of 'home roasters' (we roast our own green coffee beans) . I had already planned on using the mcp3424, and was googling for references to it when I found the AnalogPlug here.

   I like the JeeNode concept so well, and in particular the AnalogPlug, that I nearly decided against completing the shield version. But not everyone is using JeeNodes (yet), so I went ahead and announced a 'paper design' over on Github here:

   After only a day or two, another fellow from homeroasters.org used my 'paper design' as a starting point and actually had some PCBs built. You can take a look at the project here:

   Thank you Jean-Claude for your terrific open-source hardware and software!

   While this 'shield' is not exactly in the 'Plug' format, it should be easy to use, since it is i2c. Or if anyone would like variation done in a 'Plug' format, I would be happy to help.

   Thx. It's always nice to see new boards, even shields ;)

   (I'm not such a big fan of the shield format because of stacking issues, but for dedicated solutions it does make sense)

   Great, good luck with your project. Thanks for the pointers to both hardware and software.
