The old Coffee machines from VBM are beautiful and makes amazing coffee. Unfortunately, the electronics and control are outdated. For challenging myself and learning new stuff, I decide to update the electronics.
Using microcontroller for precise temperature control on a 30 years old Domobar Inox with useless feature like Wi-Fi, a webpage in the local network for monitoring and controlling
- Esp32
- Measuring Amplifier MAX 31865
- PT100
- Solid-State-Relay
- OLED Display SSD1306
- actual value
- target value
- process variable
- water level
- PID proportional–integral–derivative controller for temperature control
- PT100 Sensor
- Water level
- Asynchronous web interface
- Visualized water level in CSS picture, blue rectangle represents water level
- Using both core of the ESP32. One for temperature/controlling, one for the webpage
6.Slider for target temperature
7.Chart for temperature
8.Time over NTP
9.Wake-up timer
