For my final class in industrial electronics we need to create an automation projet with a micro-controller or with an automate and INTOUCH. We also need to make our own PCBs and metal caseings for the project. We have to use also 0-10V scaling at the enterence of the programmable automate. We also need to view all variables with an IPS. We have to create our own project. Some are making an automated alarm system for a home, others a hydroponic system with a touch panel screen, one is doing a wind mill, etc. I was wondering if any of you had ideas for me ? I was thinking maybe of an intelligent toaster that if you put only 1 slice in it well the empty slot does not heat up , so this would save some energy, I would also add some controls in there to make it fansy for my teacher, anyway I am really opened to hear any of your ideas, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. 8)
