devlog 1.0

Finally we are moving from the planning part to the hardware one, the reason last devlog was 2 months ago is that hardware is really time consuming and i didnt have much time this summer.

Anyway since i dont have access to a 3d printer i had to be creative: so i made the base out of wood, its a hardwood and (hopefully) shouldnt char. I know it looks uneven but trust the process, the part thats sticking out will be used for controls. The hotplate it self is lifted by 3 big blots to isolate it from the rest.

I was also testing the thermistor actually works the way i intended and everything seems to be working just fine(check las devlog schematic for more info).

In the next few days i will finally start soldering everything and hopefully i can get this thing working by the end of Stardance😭

devlog 0.1 - made complete wiring diagram from components i researched in the last devlog, had to add varistor + fuse for protection and resistor with the NTC thermistor to make voltage divider;

currently waiting for components to arrive;

this is just a simple wiring diagram dont look too closely at it😭🙏

devlog 0.0 - spent some time researching specific hardware components to make sure they will work together, some of those were real hassle - next time can i start designing the wire layout

–had to use this boring ah image😭🙏
