Hello!

Recently I decided to start my own project which is computer-controlled chamber for purposes of finishing tobacco.

My chamber will be capable of:
  • Flue Curing
  • Air Curing
  • Kilning
  • Storing/humidifying/drying...

Features:
  • Operating panel with LCD display - eg. ability to select program, set temperature,humidity, timing and so on.
  • Analog humidity/temperature sensors
  • Digital end switches for keeping track of mechanical parts position
  • Venting system and air circulation
  • Heating and humidifying element
  • Few pushbuttons, tri-colour beacon...

I consider connecting Chamber to router and write application for smartphone/windows so I could remotely control and check.

UNFORTUNATELLY this year I had not planted any tobacco so I need to wait until next year where I plan starting seeds of varietes for cigarettes and cigars as well.

I ve already ordered electronics needed for my chamber, just waiting for arrival, until then I can start assembling mechanical parts like walls,insulation and so on.

This topic will serve like diary where I will post news and updates. I will appreciate ANY advice or suggestion from you guys.

See attached pictures.

"Capture7":
  • a) Pipe for air heating and air circulating. At both ends will be attached fans and inside of pipe will be heating element.
    Air heating is self explanatory (heating element on/off) and air venting will serve for moving air inside of chamber, preventing wet spots.


  • b) Fresh air intake - fans operating at the top and bottom, sliding mechanism opening/closing holes with fans (opening/closing of mechanism will be secured by servo motors)


  • c) Hole with ultrasonic humidifier put in reservoir with water.

I do not watch football but I ve heard they did well :). Projected dimensions of inner space are 1250*1250*2000 mm (4ft1in*4ft1in*6ft6in). Should I do them bigger?
