The OpenFluidWarmer prototype Arduino sketch is detailed below. See the latest version of "OpenFluidWarmer_PrototypeSketch_MM-DD-YYYY.ino" in the files section of this project for the most up to date version of this code.

This sketch reads temperature from four thermistors (two per heater). Based on whether these temperature readings are above or below the hard coded temperature set points, the sketch will either send a command to the relays to close (and power the heaters) or do nothing.

// OpenFluidWarmer Prototype Sketch
// Inputs: 2 thermistors per heater
// Outputs: 1 relay per heater, indicator lights, buzzer
