I finished the programme compiler last night; it's in a beta state so it might be buggy. It allows me to very quickly compile firing shedules into a binary file, the binary file can be either burnt into the flash memory chip; or uploaded to the controller via serial RS232. This change makes the existing controller programme selection code obsolete, so this will need to be re-coded.
Wow! I've noticed that most "scrap" kilns are simply in need of wiring / control repairs.
ReplyDeleteYour project looks like it will work well for heat treating carbon steel, melting aluminium and bronze, and assaying mineral ores in a "scrap" kiln.
I'll gladly buy a couple of kits once you are ready for feedback.
