Hi there
New in the raspberry-world. Just bought one, with wlan, Gpoi and several start-gadgets.
I want to build the following project:
I have a vermontcastings stove wood with catalyst. Changing at the right moment to catalyst circuit is quite important. Also overheating the stove is an important issue. It's a stove with a thermostate, but one has to manually open a circuit on the stove when the right burning temp is reached. And put in new wood at the right moment.
So I want to survey temperature with 2-3 thermocouples (several measuring points), have a buzzer working on a max. and too low temp, have a temp log sent to phone/ tablet, display some graphics maybe. Also measure temp interior house.
also I would like to be independent from electricity net, so have a battery take care of this.
Found out the following as far as hardware is concerned that one needs:
1. thermocouple(s) type K (one that goes to at least 400-550 C)
2.Thermocouple Amplifier MAX31855 breakout board (MAX6675 upgrade) - v2.0
3. Wlan
4. breadboard
5. buzzing device
6. battery connection? 5V battery?
6. I guess you cannot put thermocouples in serie, so I have to acquire several amplifiers?
softwarewise I am learning by doing, but especially being advised on the logging/network part would be great.
My questions are:
1. Is there a documented project for this, or something like this, so I can get a quick start on this project
I found some stuff googling but some are with arduino, some are incomplete, and some use a TI-device that seems to me too complicated and too expensive
