I'm interested in designing a control system that will sense the temperature of my charcoal smoker, compare that value to a predetermined value (which the user is able to set) and then, if necessary, turn a fan on to stoke the fire to raise the temperature. This system would be constant feedback meaning the fan would be constantly turning on and off depending on the temperature comparison.
Basically what I'm looking to do is reinvent https://www.rocksbarbque.com/" simply because I like tinkering and just buying an end solution is no fun ;)
Here's my problem - I'm an ME by trade and have very little experience designing control systems. I have had minimal experience with a Cypress PSoC Kit similar to http://www.cypress.com/?rID=37464" but would call my self far from experienced or expert.
Does anyone have any suggestions on an easy route for me to start on that could potentially allow me to grow my skills as I learn the control system? Price is a concern, but not the ultimate deciding factor.
