The first prototype ZonCoffee v3 boards have arrived and are nearly up and running. I’m currently porting the code over to Arduino 1.0, as this board uses the Arduino Leonardo bootloader. Read on past the break for more info on the…

The ZonCoffee espresso PID controller board has been fabbed!
The Eagle schematic for ZonCoffee is included after the break. Note that this schematic still has a few quirks, but it should be accurate to the best of my knowledge. I will post the Eagle project once the design is…
ZonCoffee is a full-featured PID controller package for Arduino, customized for use with espresso machines. ZonCoffee is written in Processing/Wiring, and includes some code from Tim Hirzel‘s BBCC project.
ZonCoffee is an Arduino sketch created for the purpose of espresso machine temperature regulation. The sketch reads the temperature with a thermocouple, and uses the temperature to control the boiler temperature with a PID loop. ZonCoffee also includes support for…

Check out the ProtoFusion booth at the Detroit Maker Faire on July 28-29 at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, MI! We’ll be showing off our Luma music-synchronized lighting nodes and our inexpensive PID system for espresso machines.
This is a build log of my PID modification to my DeLonghi EC155 espresso machine. Currently, the machine uses an Arduino to drive a solid-state relay controlling the heating coil. The Arduino displays mode and temperature on a serial lcd,…
