Michael, Thanks I think that is what I was looking for. I actually have some one-wire stuff but it was too old and not the right shape. John Michael Haberler wrote: > Am 19.12.2010 um 21:05 schrieb Kirk Wallace: > > >> need to get the temperature information in. You would need an analog >>

Grr... Meant to say, strip out the g-code interpretation and let EMC take care of that and you might end up with a pretty nice little system. On Sun, Dec 19, 2010 at 1:58 PM, Colin Kingsbury wrote: > Here is an open-source Arduino/AVR-based 3-axis step/dir controller that > takes G-code inputs d

On the PC side of the control would be the smarts to control temperatures and have various recipes for different temperature profiles. These scenarios are common when smoking Control the cabinet temperature only. Control the cabinet temperature and when the internal temperature of the meat reac

Depends on what you want to do. If John wants to run some type of temperature vs time profile then something smart makes sense. If you just want to maintain temp - there are some very cheap thermostats available that can handle power circuits. The least expensive I have found is a water heate

Kirk, Do you think something like this could be used to control the temperature of a smoker cabinet with 500 watt heater? I've been wanting to build something that is very cost effective that could be plugged into a laptop via usb or something and control the smoker heater... Being electrical
