New line of K type thermocouple controllers

First ready, XE 2.0

_Two K type thermocouple Inputs

_3 temperature readings (T0(ambient); T1 and T2 (Ktypes).

_Configurable Start up ( from T1, T2, from both)

_Configurable Shut down ( from T1, T2, from both)

_10 Sec. delay on power for Asus motherboards.
Readings from +50 to -150c

_Customizable delay between compresor restarts.

_Two ways to calibrate Thermocouples on hardware by end user plus offset.

_Control up to 3 Panaflos H (High performance 120mm fans) plus another smaller fan (1.5Amp total power)

_16x2 Blue or green LCD display

_Windows software, firmware upgradeable.

Looks nice. What interface does it use?

All I can say is 'simply amazing' :D

The use of dual thermal inputs for safety and reading opens these up for such a wide variety of uses, including dual head units and it looks like for those you've already built everything in so that no custom firmware is needed :woot:

Fantastic work guys, hopefully I'll see one of them for the dual evap I've put together and I can test that theory ;) but it just looks completely ideal for the job.

It also looks like it could work well for dual compressor systems via a separate relay even if the controller couldn't do the amperage of both compressors.

You've definitely come a long way with this one, with the configurable safety and K-type inputs you've pushed the technology forward to the 'next level'

Congratulations Ssilencer and Golden Eagle for this achievement :toast:

Thanks Gray, you know that this (banana?) eated us to the bones, but well, is not dead the one who fight... and if it is dead, well, the hell with the rest

OK People, I have 6 units coming

2 x XS316
1 x Cold Ice
1 x for me
2 x LittleDevil

Sorry but all sold out, contact me by PM if you want and I will get them ordered asap

I'll quote my question here, since no one cared to answer me.

Hey guys do the K probes come with them I have only one left and will need four for my two!!

Sorry, I lost that one, Serial still port, until the next release (already playing with USB)
But the next release will take some time...

Pazza, controllers don't include K type probes.

Very nice looking. Good job!

Great for 24/7 freon cooled systems :)

K, nice! Didn't mean to seem "angry" or anything :p: Maybe I'll buy one once you've made them with USB-interface.

Can you supply with probes as it would save me ordering from elsewhere and paying postage twice

My honest opinion is that there is no need for USB, serial does the job just fine. What can USB do that Serial can not?

i have a customer that just bought a Abit 975 mobo that doesnt have a serial port at all:stick:
i think other mobo manufactures will be heading this way also. the other good thing about not having serial is that each mobo internal serial port wiring is different.
Also no need for external serial port plugs.

OK makes sense.

I think 1st priority was to get the controller 100% rather than the interface, Im sure golden is working on USB

If they had used a surface mount board and put on a FT232R between USB and SCI they would have had a full USB controller working with almost the existing code on both PC and micro. The problem is the cost of producing surface mount boards which would have increased the price to the end user which im sure Ssilencer and Golden Eagle dont want to do. I guess this is why it is difficult...

Gotcha :)

Is not just change the plug, is a complete redesign.
But we got a usb microcontroller sometime ago, we just didn't have enough time to play with it.

very cool guys, this thing is lightyears ahead of where you started.

Thanks Revv, I hope so...

There are two more controllers in the K type line...

Sounds like progress is being made. Now... how are things going for my stuff?
