Hello,
I am very new to Arduino, and looking for a general yes or no if the project I have in mind is possible with Arduino technology, dictating if I research it more, below is the desired Idea.
I currently have a temp probe(k-type thermocouple, can be changed) that currently reads a temp drop every thirty seconds, from 400F° to 170F°, timing not consistent enough to use for programming. When the temp drops I want to record the min value of the drop. Then write to a file so later I can pull up with a laptop each drop for the day, and what temp it reached. I also need a small display to have the last x(lets say 10) drops displayed, so if I walk by I can see recent events without having a computer and opening the written file.
Eventually I would like the chip to also output 4-32VDC to a relay if the temp from a different probe drops below a set point, this point could be set up down button so the computer would not need to be present., Maybe have live set and actual temp displayed to the screen.
Also part of the eventual plan is have the chip control a Brushless DC gearmotor, made by Merkle-Korff-Model GF 5738B, uses 0-5 or 0-10 VDC for speed reference. This would ideally be able to be sped up or down by a button, so the computer would not need to come by, again have the setting current setting displayed on the screen.
I imagine this would be quite a project to undertake. I am currently trying to choose the correct route to save myself andf pocket book heartache down the road. Advanced thank you to all that reply.
