PCB’s Ahhh!
May 2nd, 2009
Well I am still working on things. The PCB designing is a killer! Lots of getting specs on components, quoting them out, making sure they work on the pcb layout, designing the cad, routing signals, and making everything fit in the same footprint as the current controllers!
This is no easy task. I will let you know when I get some prototypes ordered up!
Keep it up Ryan, just keeping thinking of the end result.
Hey Ryan,
A friend who is a Traeger fan like myself directed me to this web site. My brother has developed a tiny embedded controller (it includes optional wireless support) that may be just the ticket for your product. In fact, I thought about using it for a smoker controller myself, but haven’t had the time to do it. You can learn more at http://www.cpustick.com/. If you are interested, you can contact him (his name is Rich) directly from the web site, or email me and I’ll put you in touch with him.
