I haven't begun my build yet (been too busy building a system for daughters boyfriend) but I digress, having seen a JSL timer in action, I figured that as I basically have the hardware already, I'm going to build me an intelligent timer from an Arduino, 1 or more 5v triggered relays (I have an 8 way in the basement somewhere for this already) and a 5" or 7" touchscreen - eBay here I come :rockin:
The screen has an SD card interface so I can not only pull static/dynamic graphic info (my logo) in full color, I can also store and retrieve brew data (brew, timing info etc) and by using the touch interface, I can have as many steps involved as needed for even the biggest of brews. The only thing it's going to cost me in real terms is a couple of weeks programming the interface so it covers all scenarios and a place to plug in a small wall-wart for powering the arduino once programming is effectively set in stone...
Thoughts?
