My current project is integrating Xbee wireless transceivers into my snowmaking equipment.
Specifically, my plan is to use Xbee transcievers to monitor various things while my equipment is running. Compressed Air Pressure and Temperature, Ambient Temp, Current Draw, Water Pump Pressure, Water Temp, and Pump Current Draw are all on my list.

My current snowmaking setup consists of a scratch built Cat 310, 5.1GPM @ 600 PSI water pump, along with a scratch built Eaton 14CFM@90 PSI air pump. Picures here in my photo album.
