So my thought would be to have a graphical representation of my brewery with all of the critical temperatures displayed and a point and click interface to turn pumps or burners on/off as needed.
I know a lot of you program, what language (preferably open source) would you guys recommend I learn for this project? I have a little experience programming in a structured language way back when and BASIC way back when so while I understand conceptually what's happening, the actual language will be all new to me. Something that I could use in the real world would be great of course.
That little temp logger is actually very cool. It'll monitor 4 different temperatures. The magic is really in the sensor which is not just a thermistor but it's own little packaged device that sends data streams. The relay board is just a straightforward relay board and I haven't read much about the I/O module. It says it can be "programmed" via a serial cable but I'd rather just have it pass-through information and react when told too.
I could add a fermentation control routine as well. For a while now I've thought it'd be cool to have a "lager" routine that'll lower the temp X* every X hours until lager temp is hit. Phase two would be having the system email or text me if the temperatures went too far out of parameter.
