Zhiyong Hao and Zhuo Chen from Cornell Univercity build A PIC-based Alarm clock system that is different from most alarm clocks known. This project is aimed to design a ‘Sleep and Wake-up Assistant’. Different from a normal alarm clocks which can only make noise, this alarm clock is designed to wake up a person in a comfortable […]
Smokerduino – Arduino Smoker Controller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/smokerduino/
rjkorn @ instructables.com shows us his Arduino Smoker Controller: I had made a Sous Vide controller and thought it might work well for my smoker too. All I really had to do was change the sensor form a Dallas 18B20 to a thermocouple. The Dallas sensor tops out at about 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This particular smoker […]
