Anyone ever build an Arduino temperature controller? {GEEKS}

Thanks

This should give you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28kYMdQsqjQ , there is a part2 as well. cheers Bryan

One of the parent or host's jobs is to provide power. With the setup I have, the host is the arduino with its USB shield. The arduino with its USB shield provides the power to the phone.

I'm trying to find a cheap PSB that can run android so I can use what I've already done without needing a phone.

That's what I am considering using. Life has kept me busy for these past few months but I've made a bit of progress on the software. I am starting to write code that will help users re-calibrate the thermistors (probes). I haven't setup any fan control yet. I need to read up on the best way to do that with an arduino, and then I can code it all into the android apps (client and server) which can send the commands to the arduino device. So, I have a ways to go before I would feel comfortable sharing it but I am making progress.

It's crazy how inexpensive some hardware boards are. I had heard of the Hackberry but never looked into it. Pretty neat stuff.

Your original post inspired me to look into using an Android phone and now I've started a project. It's all your fault! :)

I just completed my arduino powered smoker controller. I feed all of the data to a SQL database and then I monitor it remotely using a web browser on my computer or phone. Eventually I will probably add a wireless router so I don't have to stretch an ethernet cord across the yard, but I am happy enough for now. Below is a picture of the web page which allows me to set a smoker temperature to control to and a setpoint for the meat so I don't forget what I am going for. I will take some pictures of the hardware when I get a chance.

I just got an Arduino a few weeks ago, and of course looked to see if the Brethren were using them. Niiiiiiice...

I have kludged the framework for an ATC together using leftover computer bits, judicious use of a soldering iron (my least favorite tool), and ganking the probes from my iGrill. I tested each piece (fan, servo, alarm, probe, etc) separately. I have to wire it all up and give it a spin on the UDS.

When finished (re-done using new parts), it should have the functionality of a Stoker (multiple probes, multiple pits) for the price of an IQ110.
