That is both amazing and beautiful!

After a talk with the wife. I have this and some other stuff that I would rather just get gone. Like this and 10+ beer pitchers, etc. Free to anyone that wants. If not taken today, It goes to the curb tomorrow.

Hadn't heard back from the other gentleman. Since I don't know just how good its AC unit is and the fact that it takes up way too much room..... $20. For that price though need it gone quick. Otherise I'd just keep the wine racking inside. But its too much room.

Sent an email.

Got this wine cooler from a neighbor hoping I could make it into a Ferm Chamber. Seemed to blow cool but I didnt feel cold enough for my purposes. Willing to trade or sell cheap. I'm located in Princeton and would need to be picked up. Appears to be a 90 bottle holder.

Oh, and something like this would be easy for controlling most everything(with proper voltages wired through relay of coarse). The heating elements would need SSR's but this can control your valves, pumps, and most everything else with these. I have the 4 relay version that was 5v and had it...

I would say to try to stick with a BeagleBone Black. I posted a thread a while back and wanted to do this but time has held me. It has a LOT of capability on it alone. If its possible to keep it down to one simple system it becomes both more affordable, and looks nice to TI since you would be...

I might be biased but I love it.

My only worry would be inflatable tires and no way to lock them. You could chock the wheels but if one looses pressure it would be instant disaster. That and make sure to check how much weight it can handle and how much water weight will be on it.

Oh, Here is an article that talks about the Raspberry PI interfacing to the relay module. The BBB would connect the same way. Depending on if its a pump or what it is and the load that relay module can handle a good load, for more than that I would connect the relay module to a SSR so that it...

Lol, I had a fire extinguisher close. :) Beside me infact. That video was one of two times I fired it up. She was firmly planted and other than two items on the floor the rest is sheet metal. I needed a test run to know that it would work though. Next order of business.... Getting all the...

This is true. The quality really is good on these. I have a problem with leaving anything alone so in this case I drilled each of the burner holes at 1/8" which is just barely above what they already are. The orifice I did at 9/64. To be totally honest that was going really big I think and...

Its looks awesome! Out of curiousity is this something you're going to do more commercial or area you planning to open source it?

I must say this has been one heck of a great read so far.

When money will allow the plan is to setup a stand for 2 burners useing strut, have two electric valves and a basic pilot light. Nothing but the cheapest for this build. :D
