BrewBot for brewing beer. A Parallax Spinneret Web Server will manage several automation tasks in the brewing process.
Functional requirements include:
1. Must monitor water temperature and adjust the heat source accordingly. The upper and lower temperature variables will be set from a web form.
2. Pumps for moving water, from the initial pre-heating tank to the brewing tank, will be managed from a web page generated by the Spinneret Web Server. The pumps will automatically stop when the desired amount of water has been transferred.
3. If an Internet connection is available, the Spinneret will send an alert email if the water temperature drops below a certain temperature, this value will be set on the web page.
Technical Goals include
1. All logic processing should take place on the Spinneret chip.
2. Web form input should be persisted to non-volatile memory, the on-board Micro SD card slot.
3. Fault tolerant for a loss of power scenario.
4. Light data logging on temperature and events.
5. Email should be sent using TELNET.
6. Find opportunities for scope creep.
7. Create a budget and go over it by 30%.
8. Brew a great batch of beer.
