\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About 5 months ago I sent an out-of-the-blue email to RocketScream electronics asking if they wanted to help me build an open source PID controller. It’s been far more challenging than I expected, but today I get to announce the release of my first open source hardware project: the osPID!<\/p>\n

(pause for applause)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The goal was to make an open equivalent to the PID controllers you can currently buy. To do this we combined the Arduino, my PID library, some open-source auto-tune code, and RocketScream’s Reflow Oven Controller Shield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In some areas we fell short:<\/strong> The case, for example, isn’t nema rated. If this thing becomes popular however, there’s no reason we couldn’t fix that.<\/p>\n

In some areas we hit our mark:<\/strong> form factor, interchangable I\/O cards, Autotune, onboard user interface.<\/p>\n

…And in some cases we hit out of the park:<\/strong> It has a java trending\/configuration Application, and it costs… wait for it… $85<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m really proud of the work we’ve done, and there’s more to come. Let me leave you with some videos I created to help introduce this release.<\/p>\n
