air flow sensor circuit

The idea is

Wait and then measure ADC, Vbe reflecting baseline temperature

pulse M2 on and heat Q1 for a while

Kill M2 and measure ADC again, hot temp

The diference in ADC measurements depends on self-heating of Q1, which is less when there's air flow.

I'd love to model the heating, including time constants, but see no easy way to do that and drive the sim temperature. May as well breadboard.
