Arduino Subcooling code
Subcooling only code:
Code:
/******************************************************** |
Just as with superheat, two temperature sensors are all you need to calculate subcooling. But unlike superheat, it's not quite as straightforward to find the point that tracks the discharge pressure. I suggest checking along the condenser after the system has been running in steady state for a few minutes. You'll find a large section that's basically the same temperature and it corresponds well to the actual high side pressure. Put the temperature sensor in the middle of the section and you're good to go.
BTW, in my experience, the subcooling measurement isn't really used for control but rather just to check that all is well. |
NiHaoMike, thanks. Mikesolar wanted Subcooling only for EEV

I will hook it to a MEGA when it comes in the mail. I had one but seem to have blown most of the output pins with wrong resistors values. I have a relay board so I should be able to run the 12vdc stepper and see how it works. It is important that the limits of the valve travel are known to the control so it doesn't try to drive it past its limits. Also, the valve needs to open a bit before starting the pot.

Good Luck Mike, keep us posted. I have no clue as to stepper motor control. I bet some Arduino users have some code you can borrow.

I thought arduino was your forte?

I dabble in Arduino & C programming, not an expert.
When I want to do something that may fit an Arduino, I google something like: "arduino stepper motor" & start reading. Like: stepper_oneRevolution.tiff Or: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper I poke around in the hits & try to learn & see what code exists that I can steal & modify. Try to find info on the stepper moror type that you have. I have never asked a question on the official Arduino site from the true experts. I don't know their very specific format & rules. They really beat-up people why don't follow their rules. They remind me of the Jerry Seinfeld show "Soup Nazi" |
The one I have is bipolar, 12vdc and 2500 steps full travel.
I don't know what other equipment info is needed to create a program. I guess just an order of operations (if this, than that, etc) |
Some good info from pro's:
