They used an Arduino to control the temperature and a motor shield to power the peltier plate. It kind of worked but they discovered it was difficult to assess the physical state of the chocolate.

It is described as an “open platform” that can collect temperature from multiple sensors, apply programmable control logic, and drive different loads with a precise PID algorithm. It is built around a ...

New Book Release The new book, PID-Based Practical Digital Control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno , is about using the Raspberry Pi 4 and Arduino Uno in PID-based automatic control applications.

[Matt] wanted to have more control over his meat smoker so he built this advanced PID smoker controller. It uses the solid state relay seen in the bottom-right of this image to switch the smoker’s ...
