I've spent a lot of time prototyping digital kiln controllers on several different MC platforms. All SSR controlled. Having installed them and supported them on half a dozen kils run by technology illiterate potters(not a dig, just a fact), I quickly came to the conclusion that these type of contollers are far better off being designed to install at the wall plug as opposed to on the kiln. This forces many physical design considerations but also take away the need to dig into the older kilns to try to co-locate the SSRs near the element junctions, thus creating many heating issues that I could never get ahead of. I've worked on one "kiln" from the 80's that had external hotspots in the 300C range! So I changed to a design strategy that looks a little like this. Use the existing kiln wiring, pin the kin setter on and/or set the dial temps to high. Then build the controller to install on the wall, with the kiln plugged into it. A small internal fan is enough to deal with the SSR heat produced and the only long haul is the thermocouple attachment, which can be tied to the main power cable. I'm wrapping up the PiZero2 version and will be uploading it and the designs to GitHub soon.

have you had problems with it stoop working

It will be nice if you add sms notifications and control over windows pc

Why don't you try the other ELP camera that has 4K60 with USB3 and HDMI output ? The HDMI port should be able to handle true 4K60. You're not going to get 60 fps over any USB port even if it's USB3.

Hey i know i'm 4 years too late, but for our little game we're trying to do this exact thing and i was wondering if you might've figured out how to do this with a 'custom shape' (Like a puzzle piece)? ^^

I'm debating on whether to get the Mokose, ELP or Arducam (preferably with the Sony IMX starvis sensor, or similar low light sensor), to connect to my Android phone with the app "USB camera", and use as a bodycam and dashcam. I was going to use a low light USB webcam to connect to my phone, but figured I'm better off putting out the extra $$ and getting a low light variable focal lens USB camera. It will come in handy. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best camera that fits that description.?

whats the newest update? I'd love to be able to implement pykiln into some old kilns!

Bro, this is sick! How does this content exist!

Can u explain state machine for spi in verilog. Whats the role of data ready pin in reading the temperature conversation results

The newest Mokose UC70 firmware is stable for me. The former firmware was not. When you upgrade firmware, you get the option of naming the camera UC70-1, UC70-2, or UC70-3 by selecting a one of 3 firmware files. This makes it easier to add 3 cameras because you can see which camera is which. I use the 1/1.7" 12MP 3.2mm f/2.0 cs-mount lens, which is almost as wide as GoPro. I wish it had a lower aperture, f/2.0 isn't enough light and is noisy in most low-light rooms, but it looks really good with more light. I also really like the Mokose C100. Get the one with the 85-degree lens for an M12 lens, the ones with varifocal lenses have a built-in IR cut filter and you can't use M12 lenses with them. Also, check out the Mokose C200. They have a new optical Zoom camera, the UC90A, which is a 1080p IP camera with HDMI and 10x optical zoom.

What happened to this project?

Your part with no supports that sags. Why not just put a foot in the center of the sag at the base level that ramps up at 45 degrees to make the sag intentional.

I haven't dove into this project too much but I've been gathering my stuff to build a kill and controller I'm undecided on raspberry Pi or ESP 32. My main question is why are there all these projects using k-type thermocoupler instead of the thermocouple that can handle ceramic firing or cone 10 firing. Maybe they all support it I don't know but they don't specifically say it.

Best review so far. Thanks.

Is this still an active project? I got all the parts together last year but couldn't get things running on the raspberry pi, only find out a pivot to esp32. And this is the last update I found 😢

these cameras would be so perfect for stop motion animation! no need to buy expensive dslr cameras

Concerned- no word from you in some time.

Dude, I love this!! I hope you see this through. This would be fantastic 😍

Did you die?

This is badass! Was looking for a kiln but like you say there is alot of old tec out there!! Have bridk will build!!

Anything new with Pykiln? PCB??

So cool, cant wait to build this!

All these great ideas for controlling kilns need a serious " redundancy " or two. The last thing a ceramicist need is a runaway kiln as the result of malfunctioning or DEAD $7 no quality controlled mass produced toy COB. Even major brand name PID controllers ask for redundancy if used in projects. Two years elapsed from this video and no followups. So I assume " We have a problem Houston ".

This is great! I've been looking for a solution and am looking forward to see where this is headed.

Hi, Did it work?

This is fantastic! How soon can I get hands on one? Need a beta?

The interface is quite good! I also made a esp32 ramp soak controller but for a gas kiln. Any plans to make your controller also compatible with gas kilns? I could help you with that if needed :)

Hay, cool an M5Stack Core 2 project The bloat is due to them Not understanding the build and I have been fighting with them to slim the firmware down due to duplication of libraries. BTW UIFlow V2 firmware should solve a lot of the bloat and memory issues. Can you make a guide on how you got Mainstream MP running and setup on it please?

Thanks for this, I was looking at the ELP for my desk.

That first 3d printer is a rabbit hole I hope everyone gets to go down.

For the safety switch I suggest making that cuttable pad into a jumper so to add a switch you just pull a jumper and plug in a switch or to bypass the switch you use a jumper. That could also be inverted so no jumper is necessary and a high signal kills the power but then if it fails it just stays on which isn’t ideal.

Друг, а какое у тебя расстояние между двумя адаптерами? Какой провод используется для передачи сигнала? Алюминий или медь? Какое его сечение?

Thank you. Are these cameras suitable to use as a webcam for Zoom meeting? How they are compared to Logitech Brio 4K or StreamCam?

Nice looking project. How long are you expecting it to take until everything is up and ready to go on your website?

Funcionan para un ATEM MINI PRO ?

I like the design idea of using the binder clips, but now that i expanded the build area with 2 more staging plates, i can't clip stuff on anymore, so i need to go back to using a screw in place design... I'm actually on the fence to exchange all the screws that are used to mount the electronics and stuff on the bottom of the staging plate with countersunk screws, so there is no more screwhead interference with part trays and pcb holders on top of the staging plate. The other idea i had is to just move all that electronics and pneumatics somewhere else on the machine where it's not in the way, for example on the left side of the machine, outside of the bottom aluminium extrusion. But i guess making some countersinks with the drill and change the scews is the quicker "fix" for now. Looking forward to follow you along on your journey with the Opulo. 😃

Excellent review. Ihave to say I liked the MOKOSE color better because it was more blue while the ELP was more Yellow. But I am with you that all the other reasons have caused me to go with the ELP. Thanks again!

Can I set up multiple kilns like a network.

Thank you. Your video should really help to perfect the product that I plan to but in some time.

Excellent video. Keep rocking you’ll blow up in TH-cam in no time!

Hi @CurlyTaleGames Thanks for sharing your opinion. This is really helpful for me. Just subscribed to your channel. Could you do me a favor? I am looking for some test videos of cams where a table tennis ball can be seen in action. I am streaming tablesoccer aka foosball and on a pro-level which is then a quite fast game. I am looking for a cam which has a good pic quality, and can stream at least 1080p with minimum 60fps and over some hours without over heating. A an external power supply and (in an optimal world) with external microphone input (but if tehr is no input for a mike, it is not a big deal). Could you do me the favor and produce some test vid with the cams you have with a table tennis ball bouncing on a table from some hight and a distance of let's say 2 meters or 6,5 feet ? The connection of such a cam can be in done via HDMI or USB. Do you may have other solutions in your mind based on my request? Thanks and greetings from germany. (and sorry for my dump english)

I just acquired an older paragon manual kiln, i can't wait to update it with this interface, everything looks clean and the functions provided seem perfect for day to day use, i doubt you will need to access the settings provided through the browser very often, i think you made a good design choice narrowing the scope of the interface.

June 2022 Raspberry Pi-04 is about $150 on Amazon and E-bay. Chip shortages and market demand.

Can you make video while it populating the board

Very cool work you’re doing. I work with molten glass and although I hear it lots I’ve never learned what different cone firings translate into for the kinds of firing schedules I need (simple ramp/hold). It looks like your device does that though so probably can just ignore the cone stuff? Can your device work with thermocouples that read up to 2500 F? Is there a 4-20mA output a guy could connect into a phase angle SCR?

You're the ultimate alpha tester 👏

Thanks for making these. I bought the kit a week or two ago. Gonna be a little while longer before they're ready to ship. It's exciting the possibility of an affordable way to automate SMD placement. I just finished a toaster oven to reflow conversion and did my first stencil job with tape and tweezer placement. I've done hand soldering and hot air rework stuff for years. It went mostly well but I had to rework the 100 pin TQFP package, as it just got too much solder. Then the new part had a few open connections, I discovered trying to figure out the weird behavior of the LCD. Learned I need a proper desktop stenciling machine and that tweezers are fine for passives but a PITA for larger parts. Still, it's opened up so many possibilities with chips I would have difficulty hand soldering.

Hey there! My uncle is considering to buy a Mokose camera for dentistry. He’s expecting either to attach the camera to the light of the dental chair or to his magnifying lenses. Could you tell us which is the minimum focusing distance of this camera? Thanks 🙂🙌🏼

Hey there! I am a glass/ceramics artist, developer (frontend/backend/cloud devops) and a tinkerer. I have been looking to get a better setup for controlling my kilns, especially when it comes to glass arts as the schedules are very finicky and change all the time depending on what you want the glass to do. I have checked out several projects that I might start and this one seemed pretty cool and actively developed. The other project I thought was neat was KilnRegulator3.0. I know python, javascript and vue (among other languages/tech stacks) and would love to get this going for my small 2 kiln studio. Please let me know how best I should get started with this cool project.
