Arduino UNO Thermal Water Bath

README.md

The temperature is read through a DS18B20 sensor and sent to the PID node to provide a power output. The output is then scaled according to the power of the element used.

In order to use the One-Wire sensor, ConfigurableFirmata is required with OneWireFirmata installed.

The frequency of measurements has to be changed in the time stamp node as well as in the sensor node.

Once the user temperature is entered on the UI, the PID will provide the relay with a PWM signal.

For changing the Arduino UNO output frequency to match the relay frequency band, see https://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/Arduino-PWM-Frequency

The top part of the flow writes the data in a CSV format for analysis.
