I have alot of options for choosing a control board and wanted something ESP based because I want it to be wifi-controlled.

Originally I was planning on using an ESP32-S board and developing my own board, but a couple of other options include the E4 3d printer board and a lilygo T-display board.

The E4 is an ESP32 board, and already has two themistor connectors but its a bit large so It might be ok for testing, but ultimately will be replaced.

The lilygo t-display is nice cause its has a nice display and two buttons that I can program, and the ESP32-S is nice as well because either way I have to make some form of custom board.

Providing power to all of this will prove challenging. There are simple mains to 5v/3.3v transformers that will fit in the space, but i'd prefer to drive the electronics from an external power source for now and just have 2 power plugs for it I think.

I've started coding something for the lily go board and i'll probably push that up to github soon.
