I've done most of the code conversion now and also drafted out a couple of new bits of functionality; one idea was to include a "costings" feature, this would allow you to enter a cost per kWh of electricity and then it would keep a running total of estimated units used per firing based on the amperage draw of the kiln. And one of the other ideas would be to allow the controller to automate the process of triggering a vent system. I think once these are added and tested with the larger chip, and it proves to be "rock solid" code then I think I will be finally happy with the feature set.
I have drafted out a rough UI for the editing of the programmes; this will probably take a bit of time to implement but hopefully, it should be fairly intuitive to do from a users perspective.
In parallel to these tasks, I will try and look at creating some supplementary documentation to accompany the controller.
More to follow..
