Where did you see that FC is closing down @BlueHueCO ?

I emailed a while ago about material getting stuck in the top of the grinder as well as the shape of the kief compartment relative to the scoop. Wondering if these are planned fixes in the next iteration -- If so, let me know when I can pre-order one :-)

Continuing work on the next version, after looking more into my choice of microcontroller, I think having two separate microcontrollers might be a bit excessive. However, having an esp32 for comms makes sense to me, (Bluetooth and wifi), and using a more powerful processor to drive the...

@maxvapor710 Thanks -- Here's the pic

Back again with a significant update! Boards came in, got them assembled, and realized I only put 5 pins on one of the footprints instead of 6... I was able to run a bodge wire, and it works! Not going to bother getting the boards re-spun because next version will be a fully custom board...

@lauri melissa I had an issue with ground material getting caught in the dead space around the center tooth, have you encountered this? Also wondering when medium/fine plates will be available.

Yes, however that's because of thermal transfer and losses between the coil and the banger. I don't understand why an identical coil on an identical banger could vary between controllers, other than heat up time/overshoot, because it's just reading a thermocouple, so there shouldn't be many...

Wanted to make a list of planned features for the enail, and I'll keep a list here: - Preset control in homeassistant - Hardware controls - Screen - Cold-Junction compensation for k-type thermocouple readings - Reconnect to Wifi when connection dropped - LED animations - Error handlin - Uptemp...

@JCat - Had seen your enail previously, was a big inspiration but wanted to build my own PID -- In terms of autotuning, there's still a lot of work to be done there. I used BrettB's PID_Autotune library to find stable parameters, however the algo is designed for PonE not PonM. While...

Just some ramblings about ideas for the next version: I would like to integrate all of the components onto a single board, to greatly reduce part count. The next version is likely going to be an ESP32 application processor with a small cortex ARM core running some extra safety interlocks. All of...

Hmmm - Shouldn't each controller read the same value from the thermocouple and therefore be exactly the same at any given temperature? The only way I could see this not being the case is if they're mapping the voltage to a temperature poorly. I was wondering more about the P, I, and D gain...

Still haven't gotten a shipping notification on my order, so jealous reading this thread! I'm using a controller I've designed and built myself, link in sig.

Just ordered the boards and some misc. parts for the prototype. Still waiting on my coil and banger from 710, and got my pearls and spinner cap in yesterday. My friend is 3d printing me the case, and that should be done in the next couple days, and then I have a lot more work to do on the...

What PID settings are people running 25mm axials from 710 with? I know every controller is different, just trying to get a better sense of how people are running theirs. Also, are people using proportional on measurement or proportional on error in their controls?

I looked into ESPhome when I was starting to try and integrate home assistant. Because the peripherals are more complex than simple GPIO, especially with the ESP sending encoded messages over serial, I decided that it made much more sense to go custom/mqtt. The code has really not been that...
