I got to spend some quality time today pulling together a bunch of code revisions to my Arduino-based pendant design, which has a 25-position keypad, MPG, and 4x20-character LCD that talks to HAL over the Arduino's serial-over-USB connection. I made a quick video showing the current state of the pr

Doug, I know the idea of doing a RDP thing is very attractive, but you want a warm body on site if you are fine tuning things. How it sounds, and what it looks like up close is impossible to distinguish via a RDP setup. Dave On 2/13/2011 6:55 PM, Doug wrote: > How would I do that. I think we

Just a thought - if you are using an Arduino for control, wouldn't it be easier to use glass bead thermistors rather than thermocouples. This type are used by the Reprap project http://datasheet.octopart.com/01T1002FP-Vishay-datasheet-1103.pdf and seem to be accurate to about 1% without hav

Looking at what this guy sells from down under somewhere it seems to have only 4 things on the circuit board a MAX6675, ADG608, and two caps I think. Judging from the cost of the ADG608 (4x all the other chips) I assume it is better at handling something like a thermocouple input. But that is j
