Prototype of consumer pellet burner controller
Abstract:
Microcontroller board with display for controlling consumer pellet burner and software for microcontroller. Reading sensors, controlling actuators (some with PID), touch screen display and WiFi connection.
Challenges:
- Designing system and choosing components to get a competitive price of the product.
- Finding sources of information to extract requirements and knowledge for these types of products.
Learnings:
- Designing board for powering from 230VAC and controling 230VAC loads.
- Usually market for consumer products requires cheap manufacturing for producing competetive product.
