I have recently been given a project to design and produce a kiln controlled using a "stand-alone" controller based on a Stamp 2 microcontroller. Software is required to interface the microcontroller with a computer using PBASIC programming.
A 60W light bulb is used to heat the kiln while a small fan is used to cool the kiln accordingly. Two LED's are used to indicate whether the kiln is heating or cooling.
An LED/LCD display is used with a thermal sensor to display the temperature inside the kiln.
A sensor at the door is used as a safety measure. Should the door be open, the light bulb and fan should not be operational.
Any help and ideas would be highly appreciated.
