I've seen a couple of projects online where guys are using the rasbpi to control an element in a kettle or a fermentation fridge and they use a PC interface for the display and settings etc.
Anyway I got thinking about if it would be possible to have a rasbpi (or even an Arduino board) connected to an Auberins ramp/soak pid that would then communicate via wireless to my PC or laptop. So I could use a PC interface to program or change the steps, start stop the pid etc, even have an alarm that sounds on the PC when the stepped mash is finished?
I've noticed the pid has baud settings so I assume it has some sort of communication capabilities.
I've emailed Auberins asking the same thing but wanted opinions and ideas from guys here that have played around with this sort of thing before.
