Nice to know about the date format.

Unfortunately the memory of the Arduino is quite limited, and in the case of the RX unit, the memory of the Arduino Nano is already being used almost entirely (especially when the TFT is used).
... memory no more

Certainly, a more efficient writing code could save a few more bytes ...

Perhaps in a 2015 code version...

I was not aware that the Arduino Nano V3 specifications only include 32KBytes of memory for programs as standard (and then only 30KBytes of actual user programs since 2KBytes is reserved and used for a boot loader I think), which kind of sucks considering this is the year 2014.

The spec's of the Nano are suspicously similar to the BBC Microcomputer Model B (32K RAM, Analog and Digital inputs, 8 bit CPU) and I suspect that the Nano has been inspired by the BBC Micro since the latter machine was a very popular home computer back in the early 1980's that a lot of people learned to program on in homes and in Schools. Maybe the Arduino designers wanted to bring something similar but a lot cheaper to the average hobbyist.

Pity that the memory is so small. Is that why you cannot add the code for Soil Moisture readings without difficulty? Maybe you could bring out a different optional version of your software that leaves out the code for the LCD screen driver and instead adds in code for extra sensors (visibility, mist, fog, snow, soil moisture etc) ? Since I will be using Cumulus and Wunderground for looking at my readings anyway.

Is there an Arduino or another similar device that has more than 32K RAM available? Maybe consider moving to using such a thing since your Nano memory has become totally used up to capacity?

BTW our date format in UK is dd/mm/yy also.
