June Update

The other night I fixed a bug in the delete programme part of the code;  this leaves a couple more features to add,  namely "thermocouple offset", in which you will be able to offset the temperature reading of the thermocouple by a user set amount;  this apparently is common among the commercial pottery controllers as the thermocouple is susceptible to aging effects, this in turns adds an error to the real temperature reading, so to ensure a fairly accurate reading this value is offset over time.

The other feature I need to add is the ability to "store" and "recall" your favorite programmes into "memory banks" this will allow better management of the programme sets for the user.

[update]
Last night I added "thermocouple offset" to the settings menu, and it seems to work fine. So,  I'm going to wire-up this new controller for live testing, hopefully, tonight.
