# Dual magnetic stir controller
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This is the Arduino sketch to build a double magnetic stirrer based on 2 fans, a 1602 LCD display, a KY-040 encoder and an Arduino (e.g. Uno, Leonardo, Pro Micro).

|
|
|
|
In order to put the stirrer into operation you have to change the settings in stir.ino according to your setup.
|
|
|
|
## Overview of Functions
|
|
|
|
All functions are controlled by the KY-040 encoder:
|
|
|
|
* **Press briefly:** change between menu, stirrer 1 and stirrer 2
|
|
* **Turn when menu is selected**: change between menu items (SPEED, BOOST, BTIME, CATCH, CTIME)
|
|
* **Long press when menu is selected**: lock all functions (unlock also by long press)
|
|
* **When a stirrer is selected**:
|
|
* **SPEED**: turn sets speed, long press switches stirrer on or off.
|
|
* **BOOST**: turn sets boost speed, long press activates/deactivates the boost function (running time is shown in the display).
|
|
* **BTIME**: turn sets the boost time in minutes.
|
|
* **CATCH**: turn activates/deactivates the fishing function
|
|
* **CTIME**: turn sets the interval in minutes for the fish catching function
|
|
* **RTIME**: speed rise time in seconds (applys to power on, stirrer on, boost on and fish catching)
|
|
|
|
## Display Indicators:
|
|
|
|
* **Bottom Left**: Menu
|
|
* **Bottom centre/right**: displays the set values for the stirrers depending on the selected menu item.
|
|
* **Top Center/Right**: displays the current stirrer speed (or 'OFF' or 'CAT' (Fishing)).
|
|
* **Top left**: shows the remaining time of the boost function.

## Settings (in stir.ino)
|
|
|
|
|Value|Description|
|
|
|:----|:----------|
|
|
|SPEEDINC|increment of speed values when turning the encoder|
|
|
|FANMIN|fan minimum speed (should be a value at which the fan runs safely) (rpm)|
|
|
|FANMAX|maximum speed of the fan (it is important that this is the real maximum value of the fan) (rpm)|
|
|
|CATCHSTOP|stop interval for stir fish catch function (ms)|
|
|
|PWM0, PWN1|PWM output pins|
|
|
|I0, I1|interrupts for rpm measurement (2 and 3 for Leonardo and ProMicro / 0 and 1 for Uno)|
|
|
|CLK, DT, SW|pins for KY-040 encoder|
|
|
|RINTERVAL|regulation interval (ms)|
|
|
|RDELAY|extra regulation delay when value changes (ms)|
|
|
|RTOL|regulation tolerance (rpm)|
|
|
|SINTERVAL|speed measurement interval (ms)|
|
|
|SAVERAGE|speed measurement average|
|
|
|SAVETAG|parameter save identifier|
|
|
|SAVEDELAY|delay in seconds before parameter will be saved to EEPROM|
|
|
|
|
## API commands
|
|
|
|
Command are colon separated an can be send via USB/Serial
|
|
|
|
|Command|Description|
|
|
|:------|:----------|
|
|
|info|returns a colon separated string with all parameters (see below)|
|
|
|version|returns the software version|
|
|
|on:<0/1>|switch stirren on|
|
|
|off:<0/1>|switch stirren off|
|
|
|bon:<0/1>|switch boost mode on|
|
|
|boff:<0/1>|switch boost mode off|
|
|
|speed:<0/1>:<speed>|set stirrer speed|
|
|
|bspeed:<0/1>:<speed>|set stirrer boost speed|
|
|
|btime:<0/1>:<time>|set boost time|
|
|
|con:<0/1>|switch catch mode on|
|
|
|coff:<0/1>|switch catch mode off|
|
|
|ctime:<0/1>:<time>|set catch mode interval|
|
|
|rtime:<0/1>:<time>|set speed rise time|
|
|
|
|
All commands return a colon separated string with all current parameters:
