Sterilizer's temperature

Well. I've found errors on my plot. Anyway it's not worth to correct it (I will delete it, its easier hehe), the LM35D is only 0 to 100 grades, and a sensor capable of reading at least 140 grades is needed. I've kept the track of a Honeywell's sensor capable of sensing such a high temperature. I'll update when I have it in my hands.

Sterilizer's LM35

At the moment, we'll use the LM35 to sense the temperature. The image shows the octave's plot of the temperatur vs ADC digital word.
The Spartan 3 starter kit has a 14-bit two's complement ADC.
When the time comes, a better sensor might be used. I've seen some others, but, for now, we'll use this.

Sterilizing

I've been working with FPGAs for many years now. Right now, With friends, we are working on a sterilizer's control unit. An FPGA will control the entire sensors, electrovalves, Keyboard and GLCD.
A spartan 3e starter kit from digilent is the FPGA's development board used for this task and, thinking positive (meaning: if the budget allows to) the keyboard will be developed using PSoCs from Cypress, achieving a great user-friendly interface.
I'll deliver some pictures next days!!!!

Welcom/Bienvenida

My blog. Hope I'll post interesting things. For now, just let me say: WELCOME!!
