Hi all,
A while back I was building myself a PID controller for me fermentation chamber.
I bought:
16 MHz ARM microcontroller
10 k thermistor (accurate to 0.01 C in the relevant temp range)
240 V relay
25 W, 3m reptile enclosure heat cord
a bunch of resistors and wire etc.
But in the end it was going to cost more to buy some nice buttons and an LCD display than it was to buy a fridge and an STC-1000. So I'd like a brewing related project that uses some of this gear (except for the heat cord which I use in the fridge with the STC-1000). I do stove top BIAB so mash temp, recirc, HLT temp controllers etc. won't be much use to me. However I'd be happy to build and program one for someone else and sell it to them, but as I've found, it's probably just cheaper for you to buy one already made .
I'd be happy to fork out a little bit more cash (maybe $50 or so) for more parts. Any project ideas?
