A product developed during my early days in late teens (High school times)
What is a central heating controller. It is a device that is located in basements of residential buildings near heat exchanger to control the flow of hot water into the building based on outdoor temperature.
- Graph based tuning (open loop feedback)
- Control of temperature from building
- Increase in temperate near 0 degrees celsius
- PID regulation for motorized valve with windup loop (designed my Simulink model)
- 16x2 characters LCD User interface
- Timer for reducing temperature during the night or working hours
- USB debugging functionality
- Software written in ANSI-C (CCS compiler)
- PIC 18F series microcontroller
- Debugging Proteus ISIS
- Model MatLab Simulink
- PCB design Proteus Ares
- PCB design manual
In case someone wants to further develop the product or contribute I am willing to support as much as I can. Mentoring, educational project guidance, financing etc. I am open to Your suggestions.
