Category:Controls -> Arduino Controller
Many of us on Hearth.com are using the Arduino microcontroller to monitor and control our boiler systems. This page is for discussing the controller system and as a guide to things we’ve done.

perl script and arduino sketch by member mwk1000 to monitor temperature from the arduino
File:ttymon v1.tgz
Updated version in use on Ubuntu 9.10 with updated Sketch “TankControl_v5p”
File:ttymon 1231 working.tgz

The controller is being used in many points of a boiler system:
-Monitoring temperature at various points of the system
-Monitoring stack temp, could be used for secondary combustion chamber also
-Control the circ pumps, zone valves, dump zones (with power) –

Below are some typical components used in these systems.

Arduino USB Board

Serial Enabled LCD

1-Wire Temperature Sensors

Solid State Relay Board
