After some time, I would like to summarize, what was is actually done and bring some info.
I was struggling with some not working parts like EEPROM, correct temperature measuring, heating... , but finally I have found the root cause and fixed it. Last part, which needs to be clarified, was user interface. I have made some, how to say "preliminary" version, but It looks fine from my side. Maybe I will modified it a little bit afterwards.
What is actually working/done:
- User interface
- buttons handling (rotary encoder, user buttons)
- temperature measuring (ambient, heating)
- display controlling (SSD1306)
- parameters saving (EEPROM)
- calibration (external more precision temperature meter required)
What needs to be fixed/done:
- sleep mode
- protection handling
- power bar handling
- pen detection
- stand detection
- °C/F switching
- brightness regulation
Here are some videos, how the real prototype looks like.
Cold heating from ambient to target temperature (25->200)
User interface, menu handling
Actually there is still lot of work. Next step is to verify, if heating algorithm is the correct one, or some tuning is required.
