Advanced ION Training
September 23, 2010 06:35:07 PM
     Finally got to take another class at work, it's been quite a while so this was deffinitely a welcomed departure from the norm, plus I miss the free catered lunches! Anyway, the course was advanced ION programming, which is a propriatary language we use for power control and measurement. We were taught good technique, proper brainstorming, process flow, and module specifics.
     At the end of the class our final project was to write a program to have one of our electrical meters monitor and keep a cup of coffee hot. It's actually more complicated than you would think. We factored in lots of what-ifs, like should the burner stay on if the temp fails to rise? what if the temp falls to quickly? should there be a manual override? how big should the histeresis loop be to keep the temp optimal? etc. This was a great project because as engineers, it is our job in life to make things as complex and expensive as possible :-)

COMMENT: Cool idea but you`re monitoring the temp of the coffee by leaving a probe in there?
