Espresso machine controller is now installed in the electronics drawer! I’ve posted a few updated videos demonstrating the basic functionality. I’m considering the hardware complete at this point, however I’ll probably be continuing to add software functionality.
I’ve spent the evening trying to get the espresso controller and the WiFi controller talking to each other. I’ve been very thankful to have my Siglent digital oscilloscope that my good friend Taufan bought me for Christmas one year. He also had the good taste to include the serial decoding license (which is very handy […]
This has kept me busy all morning and was either a lot of fun, or the funes from the rosin-core solder have been getting to me… I assembled my espresso controller and gave it the first power on and it seems to work marvelously! While testing it, I’ve made a few notes and discovered a […]

Being that a lot of it is software in the microcontroller, I’ll continue to add features, but here is what it does in […]
