I have a customer that I'm doing a job for not related to my question. He ask, in addition to the job I'm already doing, if I could design him a "simple circuit". Well I'll just post a direct quote from him.
The only thing that comes to mind from what I've dealt with would be a temperature controller such as an Omron controller that uses either a thermocouple or RTD and low voltage (24V) control.
From the limited info I have, do any of you have a easy or fairly simple design for this application? He said he would provide more details later. I just wanted to find out if this is something that I even want to fool with. Any input on this would be appreciated.
I have, in my previous job designed a few small circuits, but have mostly worked on already built circuits. His requests lack a lot of information to this point, ie: voltage of circuit, type of temperature measurements, etc.Basically I may be in need of a circuit (or whatever is needed) to control a desired motor (on/off) based upon tempurature readings from a simple thermostat or thermometer? I want to control the temerature in a combustion enclosure within just a few degrees. The motor would feed the fuel to the combustion chamber, hence the need for on/off control
