HeaterMeter 4.0 Hardware

DeviceDesign edited this page Feb 1, 2015 · 15 revisions

As a reminder, HeaterMeter refers to the ATmega (Arduino) based microcontroller board that runs the LCD, reads button and temperature probe inputs, and controls the blower motor. This document describes the configurations and design of the HeaterMeter board, which may optionally be attached to a Raspberry Pi. For connecting directly to a Linksys router, use HeaterMeter 3.0 Hardware.

Standard HeaterMeter hardware is built on a HeaterMeter v4.0 PCB

Configurations

HeaterMeter can be built either as a standalone or for integration with a Raspberry Pi. The only difference between the two is the population of the Pi socket JP1. The 3.3V voltage regulator is not required when connecting to the Pi, but it is when operating standalone. Both configurations provide automatic grill control, and LCD display. Set Point, manual fan mode, probe offsets, open lid detect and max fan speed configurable via buttons. The standalone requires initial configuration via serial commands. There is integrated no web access or graphs in standalone mode, but there is a serial status output to allow you to roll your own solution.
