General List

• get existing line running / selling again

• Captive-Controller-Selection get a new captive controller to allow more bridge time / use Yudian - appears others knocked them off - maybe the comm protocol will be the same

• Try to get Midwest-Microtech ( and others )- to pipe temperature controller stuff through me
  • Start listing controllers on MercadoLivre

• Setup up a TemperatureControlWiki-website
  • Try to force Chinese manufacturers to push through this site / supply simple VB driver

• Temperature-Controller-Market-Survey - Start collecting various controllers with serial ports from ebay

Temperature Controller Dom Project Plan Schematic

Goals:

• -1- become the defacto software standard for the chinese controller market
  • get chinese to want to list on temperature controller wiki - and submit sample controllers
  • get all interested parties to list hardware and services there

Columns of the effort

• -1- software
  • increase security - put in time bomb random disable that will make hacking difficult. Should only execute very rarely.
  • develop drivers - need one chinese model to work

• -2- Ebay listings and suppliers
  • list e5ax and chinese controller on ebay with links to temperature control wiki - basic package of software and bare controller - let them do the wiring

• -3- Website - Temperature-Controller-Wiki
  • use emarket platform and develop wiki collaboration features
  • use E5AX as first platform
  • cheapest / most common chinese controller as a second platform

Target Systems

• ThermoMart in Canada has a "full" kit
