I'm planning to use a washing machine (Top-Loader) as a brew machine for beer.
positiv points
- heater
- washing drum(?)
- pump
So what i've thougth about is to remove the built-in controller and security circuits (example: temperature controlle) and controll them over netduino. While breewing you have to stay different times at different temperatures (example: 30mins @ 45°, 45 mins @ 60°, 15 mins @ 90°).
A thougth i would realize this like
- GUI <- Android (TCP/UDP Service)
- AI - Temperatur ( 15 - 120)
- AI - Water level ( also replaceable with 2 DI empty, full)
- DO - Pump
- DO - wash drum (rotate)
- DO - Heater
- DO - let Water in
- DO - add hops ( twice)
Following questions are in my mind:
Do you think netduino can handle that?
Would it be possible to serve a networkinterface for the gui, and log datas?
What moduls i'll need, is there something for creating a /connecting to Wlan?
I think the current starred project on the page don't represent all the power in such a board
Thanks alot!
