#ESP powered E-Nail

Will do! I'm making some updates to my PCB design so I can get it off a breadboard, have the case all designed in FreeCAD, and should have the project published here in the next couple months and will share as soon as it's a bit more polished
very slick.
Does it track tokes too?
i was considering converting the PIDs in my rosin press to an ESP32 for better control
No, it stays warm so unlike a handheld vape it can't really count how many times you've hit it. I want to build in some cold-start functionality but my 100w coil just can't heat up my big titanium bucket w/ SIC insert fast enough. Eventually I'll find a 150w coil that may be able to do the job
I would track temp delta to see when it dips when you take a hit and tally that. Calibrate your hits 😉
Temp drop or power increase
I'm already tracking temp deltas for my crappy thermal runaway implementation so that could be possible
Interesting little interface. Would love to hear more about your experience setting it up/programming it.
Hi would love to know what hardware you used, can you put more photos so i can ID ?
or if you have a list (with link), could you share it ?
(by the way, not english speaker, but can I say, can you share it ? I believe I can say both but could seems more polite to me)
Yeah, can do!
Right now this is running on a Lilygo T-Embed with some relay breakout board (sainsmart I think) for the master relay, an omron SSR to control the actual nail, a MAX31855 to read temperatures, and I forget which brand nail but it should be agnostic so long as it is wired in correctly.
I tried writing my own menu system until I learned esphome now has menus for graphical displays - still tweaking some of the screens and writing a new web ui and need to get the PCB manufactured to test that so I can get it off a breadboard
Had to go back and refresh my trig to control the temperature "dials" which was especially difficult to wrap my head around since the y-axis is flipped coordinate-wise
Is it ESPHome + LVGL?
Not yet (that's what I want to do for a touchscreen vversion) - it is all native ESPHome UI elements
hmmm please share some more info on this...I have a similar screen, but using it for my 3d printers temp/humidity (dht11)
if been "drawing" the screen manually in the yaml and I really hate the current UI
This one is all esphome native yaml UI elements, I haven't taken the dive into LVGL yet - the temperature dial is just an image and the circles representing current temp and set temp are just it.circle(...) and it.filled_circle(...) where the position is determined using some trig that's defined in a separate .h file that I include
