We get a lot of questions about current and upcoming projects, so I thought it was fair to post this to let our loyal customers know what we are working on.
Subscribe to our RSS feed for updates as they happen.
Don't forget to check out the FAQ sections for the projects for answers to common questions.
We also monitor the HS Forum. Find us under: Midon Design TEMP05/08
We've added a Clearance Center.

LOG08 and LOG08-II
V2.07 is the current shipping software for LOG08-II.
LOG08 is now discontinued but has been replaced by LOG08-II. Please download the new manual here.
Links to our old information pages for LOG08 are available here.
TEMP08
DS2405/6/7 Issue Update
October 2008: We have released a new product, 1WSwitch, which is tailored to use with DS2405, DS2406 or DS2407 input/output sensors. TEMP08 will no longer support these sensors.
V2.20 for TEMP08 is now the current shipping product. Please visit the software page for details of the changes.
Note to interface developers: significant syntax changes have been made with V2.20. Please review the instruction manual and the Syntax Manual for details.
We no longer offer support for RELAY05 on the TEMP08.
1WSwitch
V1.02 for 1WSwitch is now the current shipping product. Please review the User Guide for details of the changes.
RS232Relay is available and provides an easy to use RS232 serial interface for 4 Form C relays. See the User Guide for details and operation.
TEMP05
NOTE: TEMP05 ceased production in June 2003. It has been replaced by the TEMP08.
Sensors
You've probably seen the Sensors web page with a new version of sensor (MD3020). It is an improved version of the old MD3008/9 series with the addition of a second RJ-11 jack for through-runs. It also has a Humidity Sensor option with both normal and sealed options for the humidity sensing device..
A new version of PCB is now available that combines footprints for a DS2406 with relay and LED outputs. The schematic and parts list can be found here.
A new sensor is now available, the 1WIO. Please see the details and user manual at the 1WIO web page.
STATX10
STATX10 - we never saw much appeal for this product and discontinued it in 2003. There was a competing product available at: Status Indicator X-10 (actually this link was dead as of Dec 2006) and they seem to have gone out of business, so not much interest there either. But the code and schematics are still available for our version should anyone be interested.
PROG05
Sorry folks, but very few people have expressed any interest in this product so we stopped development on it and no longer offer kits or parts. We have updated the Instruction Manual to better allow you to "roll your own". We have also posted the PCB layout.
RELAY05
With the release of 1WIO, we felt that the RELAY05 project had become obsolete and we discontinued it.
The European Union issued a directive that went into effect July 1, 2006 requiring major electronic devices to be free of lead, cadmium and other hazardous substances (see the UK link here: UK RoHS). Midon products are not yet compliant to these directives, so European users should order at their own risk. Midon believes that our products fall under Category 9 of the RoHS directive and are exempt, however individual countries within the EU are making determinations for exemption on a case by case basis and it is possible that your local authorities may not agree with the exemption. If this occurs, please return your product to Midon. We do have RoHS compliant PCB's and processors available via special order if you want to build your own TEMP08.
What Else is New?
We have added sensors to our product portfolio. Check out the Current Sensor and new Sealed Humidity Sensor.
That's where we are today. Lot's to do still, never enough time to do it.
