Goal: A very inexpensive general process controller that people can simply configure and plug in.

Master ToDo

Hardware

Issues to Resolve

  • How do you handle various voltages/power input and output?
  • What chip will run this?
    • Arduino Based
      • How fast can it crunch the control algorithms?


Software

Issues to Resolve

  • Is it possible to remove as much end-user programming from it as possible?
  • Is it possible to put a GUI on it (or a GUI API?)
  • Can we gracefully handle the combination of systems into multicontroller/multivariate systems?
    • Do we need to support any industrial process communication methods?
  • Can we support fuzzy logic?
    • Do we want to?
