Hi there,
|
|
|
|
I've been somewhat overwhelmed with requests and actually getting units built.
|
|
At the moment all PCBs I have built for the cased variety are depleted, but I will be building more PCBs over the coming days.
|
|
I have the parts, but they lack a touch of solder in the right places :-)
|
|
Please be aware this is part time affair after a day's work and currently this is consuming all my spare time!
|
|
|
|
|
|
An important question for the sale of the early units is does the prospect of reflashing firmware concern you?
|
|
There are still some firmware aspects I'm working on, and the web pages still need a fair bit of work. I would hate for units to become stale with old out dated firmware!!
|
|
This requires the Arduino environment to be set up for an ESP32, and in cases of dire emergency a USB to serial adapter.
|
|
Over The Air programming using WiFi is also available via batch file and a pre-compiled binary which makes this a lot easier for the firmware, but web content presently must be via the Arduino environment.
|
|
|
|
I have two possibilities:
|
|
|
|
1/ the controller as you can currently view in the GitLab repo.
|
|
This would be supplied as is, without a case, but I have produced a 3D model you can print.
|
|
GitLab repo: https://gitlab.com/mrjones.id.au/bluetoothheater/wikis/home
|
|
|
|
2/ a newer version that is housed in a case.
|
|
It also provides a few conditioned I/O expansion lines:
|
|
2 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, 1 analogue input.
|
|
The software is still yet to be fully dealt with for this aspect, but you can presently start and stop the heater, and turn outputs on or off upon command.
|
|
|
|
Pricing:
|
|
Option 1: 50AUD + post and handling
|
|
Option 2: 75AUD + post and handling
|
|
|
|
For domestic customers in Australia, P&H is 10AUD
|
|
For international customers P&H tends to be around 30-36AUD depending upon which region you reside.
|
|
|
|
Payment is accepted via PayPal.
|
|
|
|
Also please confirm your present controller is a digital style.
|
|
Please refer to my wiki at the GitLab repo: https://gitlab.com/mrjones.id.au/bluetoothheater/wikis/home
|
|
Another criteria here is what style connector you presently have.
|
|
Most have a triangular 3 pin plug, but newer units are coming with a smaller round 3 pin connector.
|
|
Please advise.
|
|
|
|
Option 2 with the case, has a range of colours available.
|
|
Black or White case.
|
|
Black, Grey, Blue or Green buttons.
|
|
|
|
Case for Option 1 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3398068
|
|
|
|
Rest assured the pricing is purely for the hardware.
|
|
The software will always be open source and freely available for upgrades and bug fixes.
|
|
And as mentioned, you can expect extra features to appear as time goes on.
|
|
An example of things in the todo list are Low Voltage shutdown, and a "de-coke burn" which will be full power, but a touch leaner than usual.
|
|
I'm also yet to explore a 433MHz Receive option using the garage style remote controls.
|
|
|
|
Thanks again for your interest
|
|
Cheers, Ray |
