Testing Arduheater

Open Ultimaboot opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I have completed the build of the Arduheater. I made a connector with led indicator for the 12V. But when i put the USB arduino to the computer the led indicator is turned on. So somehow the usb is feeding the 12V connector. That can not be right. Futher i'am still waiting for the NTC sensor, so the are not connected at this time. Can this be causing this? How do i test if everthing is working? can you give me direction. I have a multimeter to check voltage i you give me directions

With Regards, Peter

Well some help would be appreciated. De Arduheater Win program is working and I'm getting the environment reading. Ambient, Humidity and dewpoint is working. The ambient temperature is higher than the the Dewpoint temperature. Nothing is heating but that's good I think. How can I test the heater? Can I force the software to heat the heating strip or can you give some voltage measurements to see if everything working correct. I'm not sure at this moment if anything is working.

With Regards
