bjarkethomsen1First step was to open the up the grinder and inspect the inner workings. Below is a picture of all the parts:
Grinding mechanism is seen left in the middle. The black wire running around on the part is connected to different safety switches. The PCB controlling the timing and control of the motor is shown below. The motor is controlled using a triac and an 8-bit microcontroller with a potentiometer and a push button as input.
Controller board for the grinderAs of now the plan is to completely replace the controller board with my own components. The task is to make it compact enough to implement it into the machine. Next up is to make a mockup of the control system.

hey, how did you dissemble the machine? The grinding mechanism on mine isn’t working and I want to take it apart and clean it out. I’ve removed all the screws but the base doesn’t separate from the body easily. Did you force the base?
Are you sure? yes | no
Hey, I made this account just so I could show you this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnaZOAPrI7k
That link is to a disassembly video of basically the same grinder but under the Breville brand and possibly with some different internals. Disassembly should be exactly the same regardless of if you have the Wilfa CGWS-130B or Wlifa WSCG-2.
