Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in contributing to an open source automated brewing system that uses propane for heat. I'm interested in doing something similar to the HABS (halfluck automated brewing system), however I want to use propane as my heat source. I also want to do *real* PID control on an Arduino (most electric and even gas systems are just PI control).
Using an adjustable regulator with a servo to control the regulator should get me close. I've been experimenting a bit with different materials, and I'm thinking of hacking a servo and using something like this to replace the motor http://www.ebay.com/itm/261146607144?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 and a 10 turn pot to replace the pot.
Any thoughts? Anyone interested in contributing?
