NB3: Raspberry Pi Kiln Controller Test (Jim for Glenda)
Issue: We currently do not have remote start/stop/monitoring of our ceramic kilns, (or only primitive monitoring by video that does not allow remote control).
Solution: Bring one of the not operating ceramics kilns (Skutt) into operation. Use a Raspberry Pi and Kiln software to evaluate this solution for our other kilns. If this works and is acceptable we will be able to remove start/stop/monitor the kilns. A control box will be created containing all the electronics. A keyboard, mouse, and monitor (we expect to find these as donations) will be used to control an almost unlimited number of kiln cycles. If accepted, this prototype will serve as the sample for construction of additional units for our other kilns.
Relevance to Tax Exempt Status: None
Motion: Allocate $350.00 from the Equipment Reserve Fund to build and test a Raspberry Pi solution as a Kiln Controller. Funds will be expended by May 30 with any remaining funds returned to the Equipment Reserve Fund.
