Fermenter Controller
A web available fermenter vessel controller. Uses PICs, i2c, Rs232 and python.
My [[1][Md420]] fermenter controller belongs to the [[2][PyPicn]] family of projects. (GTK)gui and software is written in python and works on windows and Linux alike. It talks to the PC's serial port using TCP sockets thus allowing multiple connections to the one device.
- For example. One application is used to collect data, temperatures etc and log/ display graphs.
- A second app simultaneoulsy requests data and can re configure if required the control features.
- A third can collect data for a web page. etc etc
- some [[3][screenshots]] which reminds me they need updating.
- Its by no means a simple solution.
- However the sytem can and is used to control all manner of Home automation and other devices across the web or locally.
- Its an extension of a work related project
- However the sytem can and is used to control all manner of Home automation and other devices across the web or locally.
Home controller
Program your appliances to operate automatically in conjunction with your weekly and daily schedule, manually turn them on/off from your PC or use the controller as a process ON/OFF controller to regulate some kind of physical variable to the desired value.
Interactive Lock Box
An interesting project using an accelerometer and capacitive touch ICs.
