A Commodore Amiga send for thirty years, a climate system of the nineteen public schools in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan in the noordnoordoosten of the United States. The computer switches to the heating and the air conditioning on and off for the buildings.
The Amiga system is of great importance. It not only regulates the climate systems which, among other things, the pumps and fans be controlled and room temperatures are measured, but also the warmwatervoorzieningen.
A student of one of the schools programmed the control system in the eighties of the previous century. For the schools, it is a happiness that the former student still lives in the area: if there is something wrong with the installations, he is still called, writes WoodTV.
The Amiga 2000 owns a 1200 baud modem and communicates via radio frequencies to transmit signals between the buildings back and forth. The only problem is that the frequency interferes with the frequency of some walkie-talkies that the maintenance team of the schools.
The system now needs to be replaced, is clear. The monitor had already three times be replaced, and the mouse is also not more of the last generation. There is now tried money from a procurement of 175 million dollars in november would have to pass. If that works, can the whole system for an amount between 1.5 and 2 million dollars to be replaced.
