Hello, I have used an Esquilo Air to check the temperature of the anodizing tanks and for those that are heated to control the heaters to the set temperature of the tank.
It works pretty great. Here are some pictures.
It will resize for Phones and Tablets. Check boxes turn heaters on and off.
LCD is currently disabled.
SSR for one of the heaters. The heater has a plug on it so I can remove it to clean it at the sink. Also the Switch makes it easy to turn the heater off quickly in case something happens. Didn’t exactly plan it that way but it worked out really nice.
I’m using an Esquilo Air, two 4 channel MOSFET boards to control SSR’s for the 5 heaters.
Have 8 Temperature probes, some jack have stereo Y cables as I added more probes later.
This is most of the Hardware used. I will have a more detailed list when showing the boxes in detail.

That is just a taste of what I will be showing more of along with how it is all connected and the Source Code. Please be patient as I’m working a whole lot right now but I will get to the rest as soon as possible.
Thanks,
