KILN Continued…
Kiln Project part II
I’m still thinking about what to do… but I LIKE the PID solution. I also like how PID controllers usually display both SETPOINT and CURRENT value. So, with that in mind, I set about designing a dual display board (in a design that I can use a single 4 digit display board later).
It uses the HP 5082-7300 and HDSP 0960 series displays that I have had in my parts collection going on like 20 years or more.
So, just a little more code for the controller (adding Encoder and Displays) and I should be ready to fire up the KILN… with some nice temperature control and visual feedback.
I ended up with near perfect toner transfer to the PCB this time.
