Been working a bit on the controller over the last few days; I managed to get the "create programme" feature added today. Originally I wanted the user to only use the external PC based software to create the programmes, and then to remotely upload them using Bluetooth, but, having had some time to think about it, I realised that not all users could or would even want to do that, so, I have added the option to add new programmes via the keypad.
I think the vent system will need to wait for version 2 as it would need too big a change to the way the programmes are stored.
to be continued... ;-)
I am working out the kinks on an arduino based controller. I used an Adafruit K-type thermocouple board and a probe that is similar in appearance to the Skutt KM part. It is horribly inaccurate at firing temps. It read a little over 900C when kiln sitter tripped for cone 04. If you might post details of your probe and thermocouple chip I'd be grateful.
ReplyDeleteHi Ronald; send me a link to the K-Type board you are using, and a snip-it of the adc code and I will take a quick look for you if you like? my email is.. jucole at gmail dot com
