Hello. Im quite new at this so this may be a obvious question. But here is the case. I have a band heater mounted on an 1.5" stainless pipe. And i want this to be heated to about 80c' and then keep the temperature constant. I have been able to make the lm35 read out temperature but neither google or reading on the forum has shown me a way to make the thermostat work. I have an arduino mega board and a solid state relay. Would apreciate if someone could show me the way:)
I was able to figure it out yesterday. The thermostat is only a small part of a larger project of bringing all controls and indicators off a still on to labview.
Just now the plan is 8 lm35 sensors. 5 solenoid valves. 2 heating elements (220v 2500w and 220v 300w) 3 pumps (1 coolant 2 feed ) 2 level sensors And not shure of how many fans;) + a very confused operator 🙂
It seems to me you first need to write down how this assembly of parts is expected to do whatever it is you expect it to do. You can't tell a computer how to do something you don't know how to do yourself.
The program is about finished by now. Just need to go home and test it with all the parts. And finnish up some welding and wiring 🙂 the parts and their order are under control. Il see of i can attach the vi. Later 🙂
