This is an UNOFFICIAL AVR community.

This is a community for people who use AVR microcontrollers. This can include Arduinos, Arduino clones, Arduino like boards, and stand alone AVR chips and self-designed boards.

NOTE: If your circuit is doing something weird when you touch a wire or move your hand across it see this pinned post.

This is a community for everyone who is interested in AVRs and Arduinos from beginners to experts, kids to adults, hobbyists to engineers.

RULES:

  1. All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.

  2. Everyone (see rule 98) is welcome.

  3. If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

  1. If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

  2. Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule.

  3. The mod(s) have the final say.

This is the machine that runs my maple syrup machine room. The PLC (the large grey box on the left in the second section from the top) runs a MEGA2560 Pro Mini with an ESP32 as a WiFi modem. There are more than 4,000 lines of BascomAVR running on the MEGA2560 and around 800 lines of Sketch on the ESP32.

The top section is power distribution. The middle section is supposed to be PLC only but my 24V power supply and distribution leaked into the right hand end opposite the PLC. The bottom three sections from left to right are analog input, digital input, and digital output.

This thing runs a vacuum pump (a MasterCool 90066A), a transfer pump (a small Iwaki), an RO pump, and two solenoid valves (to be replaced with motorized ball valves this summer.) It takes inputs from a bunch of float switches, two vacuum transducers, a pressure transducer, three high precision digital thermometers, and two last time of flight sensors. This thing runs the entire process from the trees through collection and storage through the RO into secondary storage and out a tap to be boiled in the evaporator.

The PLC uses a pair of custom boards that I designed to fit in the BUD case they're installed in. I'll post pictures of the inside shortly.
